A tall gothic manor with spires and chimneys rises through heavy mist at the upper right, its windows lit with warm amber. In the foreground, an overgrown garden of wild hedges and rust-colored leaves surrounds a moss-covered stone fountain, where a translucent figure in a flowing white gown drifts, seen from a distance with no facial detail.

An open wrought-iron gate and a low stone wall mark the middle distance, with two black ravens perched on a weathered balustrade beside it. A full moon glows behind heavy storm clouds at upper left, balancing the manor's silhouette.

Cool, diffused moonlight is broken by the warm window glow. Visible brush and palette-knife strokes, thick impasto in the foliage and sky, and a fine craquelure across the sky give the painting the look of an aged, varnished canvas.
