A cream-coloured ghost with two black eyeholes stands alone in the centre of a slate-grey field. Both the figure and the ground are built from thick, scraped paint, with ridges, cracks and flat knife marks catching the light across the surface.

Beside the ghost, a hand-lettered 'BOO!' is scrawled in dark, uneven strokes. Rough canvas shows at the edges, and the muted palette of grey and cream gives the playful subject a dry, understated humour.
