Five taller ghosts stand in a back row with three child-sized ones clustered in front, suggesting a family gathered for a group portrait. Each is a draped cream-white form with two small black oval eyes and no other features, facing the viewer directly.

The warm brown and ochre background is softly mottled and empty, leaving generous space above and around the group. Even, diffuse light and loose dry-brush strokes in the background contrast with thicker, softly blended strokes that shape the ghosts, all over a visible woven canvas grain.
