A small silhouetted witch in a pointed hat and flowing cloak rides a broomstick across a vast night sky, high above a sprawling historic city. Spires, rooftops and a tall clock tower crowd the lower third, and a wide river winds through them, reflecting warm lamplight.

A pale crescent moon glows among drifting clouds and faint stars, and soft mist wraps the city below. Loosely blended cloud strokes and thicker dabs for lit windows give the oil painting a matte, glowing finish and a whimsical, gently spooky nocturnal mood.
