A large flock of bats in dark ink silhouette fills the whole sky, varied in size to suggest depth, and thins out around a pale full moon placed just right of center. Soft golden and grey cloud shapes partly veil the moon, warming the sky with a diffuse glow.

The watercolor is loose and atmospheric, with pigment blooms, soft vertical drips trailing from the clouds and fine paper grain showing through. There is no ground or horizon, only a hazy night sky that feels eerie, nostalgic and gothic.
