A ghost in flowing fabric with simple dark oval eyes stands centered on a brick garden path, roughly a third of the way back. Small lit lanterns line both sides, strings of warm fairy lights hang between overhanging autumn trees, and a dimly lit house with glowing windows waits at the end of the path.

Single-point perspective pulls the eye down the path through dark hedges and a near-black night. Soft halos of bloom surround every light source and a dark vignette closes the edges. Loose brushwork and impasto in the foliage and the ghost's drapery give a matte painterly finish in candlelit cream, amber, umber and rust.
