A quiet cobblestone street runs straight toward a tall church steeple, lined with white clapboard cottages, picket fences and rows of softly glowing jack-o'-lanterns. Two small children seen from behind, one in a black witch hat and cape and the other in a red devil costume with a small trident, walk hand in hand with no facial detail.

Maple and oak canopies in red, orange and gold arch over the road, and warm diffused light filters through the leaves to dapple the cobblestones. Atmospheric haze softens the distance.

Visible brushstrokes and soft impasto texture, especially in the foliage and cobblestones, give the oil painting a hand-painted, textured surface.
