A witch in a tall pointed hat and flowing, tattered cloak flies on a broomstick, silhouetted against a large full moon that dominates the upper sky. Wispy dark clouds drift across the moon, and a tiny dark bird or falling leaf shape drifts near the broom's tail. Along the bottom third, a low horizon of silhouetted autumn brush, grasses and sparse trees anchors the scene.

The moon's soft backlight gently rim-lights the witch while everything else stays in deep, moody shadow. Fine craquelure and soft scratches cover the aged canvas, with visible brushwork in the clouds and moon and tattered painterly edges on the cloak and broom twigs.
