Four tall, softly luminous ghost figures in loose hooded robes are spread in an irregular line across a dark open field, as if moving quietly together. Silhouetted trees and dense hedgerow frame the left and right edges, and a faint dirt path leads into the dark foreground.

A hazy, star-filled sky fills the upper two-thirds of the picture, crossed by a faint meteor trail. Each figure gives off a diffused inner glow that lights the mist around it. The painting follows a 19th-century academic landscape style, with fine craquelure, visible canvas grain, soft blended brushwork in the sky and looser dabbed strokes for the foliage and stars.
