Five cloaked witches in pointed hats stand in a loose semicircle around a central black cauldron. One leans in with a wand to stir the pot, three are grouped at left in soft profile, one stands at right in three-quarter view, and one at the far right is seen from behind.

Warm, glowing firelight rises from the cauldron and from small candles at its base, fading into a cool, soft-focus haze around the figures. Tiny gold star-shaped sparkles drift across the dark clothing and the background, adding a gentle magical shimmer.

The oil painting has loose, impressionistic brushwork and soft edges, with visible canvas weave and palette-knife-like strokes. Soft impasto marks the lighter passages, and the matte, slightly worn surface gives it a nostalgic feel.
