Three softly rounded ghosts rise from a dense golden meadow of tall grasses and small daisy-like blooms, each standing behind a carved jack-o'-lantern. They form a gentle triangle with the tallest ghost at the center, and the meadow fills the lower two-thirds of the picture.

A pale full moon glows hazily in the upper left, and three small black bats fly across the warm sky at upper right. The light is soft and diffused, suggesting dusk or moonlight, with no hard shadows or sharp highlights.

Thick palette-knife and brush impasto builds up the sky, the meadow grasses and the ghosts' drapery. The matte, hand-painted surface has soft, painterly edges instead of crisp linework, giving the storybook scene a warm folk-art charm.
