A small white sheet ghost with simple black oval eyes, a sleek black cat sitting upright in profile, and a carved jack-o'-lantern with a candlelit grin share a low, rustic stone ledge. Behind them a colossal, luminous full moon fills the upper middle of the frame, with sparse brown autumn leaves on branches to the right.

The moon's backlight halos the trio, and the pumpkin's golden glow warms the dark night. Thick, expressive brushstrokes define the folds of the sheet, the cat's fur, the moon's craters and the rough stone, and the bright ghost and deep black cat stand out sharply against the textured moon.
