Three small robed witches in pointed hats, each carrying a broomstick, walk away from the viewer down a dirt path through an autumn wood. Seen from behind and painted as soft, loose silhouettes with no facial detail, they stay impressionistic against the scene around them.

Overhanging branches with rust-orange foliage arch over both sides of the path, framing a deep view toward a pale glow low on the horizon. Heavy fog softens a distant town of spires into pale silhouettes, and the soft backlight rim-lights the treetops.

Painted in oil on canvas, the picture shows visible canvas grain and loose brushwork, with muted impasto in the foliage and smoother blending in the sky and fog. A muted palette of parchment, rust, slate and sage gives it a nostalgic, gently spooky, folkloric mood.
