Three small characters stand in a row along a brown ledge: a white ghost with two round black eyes, a glossy black cat with its tail curled up, and a little orange pumpkin with a tiny face. They are simple, almost childlike shapes, set against a large field of cream.

The paint is laid on in heavy, flat palette-knife strokes. Ridges and smears of pale impasto cover the background, and the figures have the same thick, sculptural surface.
