Four simple sheet ghosts, each with two dark oval eyes, stand at varying heights among tall dried grass, spaced across the width and facing the viewer. Dark trees and shrubs, rust-colored fallen leaves and low brush fill the foreground, while soft hills fade into the sky beyond a low horizon.

Overcast, even daylight keeps the palette of umber, sepia, lavender grey and bone white quiet and subdued. Loose brushstrokes and thick dabbed paint in the grasses contrast with thinner, smoother paint in the haze, and the woven canvas grain shows throughout.
