A cat dressed as a ghost floats in the middle of the frame. A white sheet falls in soft folds with a thin dark outline. The cat's round black face looks out with wide eyes, pointed ears and fine whiskers. Two black paws with small pale pads are lifted at the sides.

The background is a flat, warm terracotta. The simple shapes, clean contours and gentle shading under the folds give the picture a sweet, lighthearted, storybook feel.
