A dapper skeleton in a top hat, waistcoat and long coat lounges against an ornate black hearse, one hand tucked in a pocket. A black dog sleeps at their feet and a dark horse waits patiently in its harness, while a lantern glows beside the driver's seat.

Maple trees frame the scene and drop orange leaves across the ground under a pale full moon. The fine hatched linework and muted, tinted colours recall an old engraved print, and a small banner at the bottom reads "The Hearse Keeper."
