An etching depicting a haunting scene with a central figure on horseback, shrouded in a white cloak, holding out a handful of coins. The figure's face is ghostly with wide, staring eyes. To the right, a huddled, smaller figure appears to be in prayer or distress. In the foreground, a still life of pumpkins adds to the eerie atmosphere. The artwork is rich in texture and contrast, with dark, shadowy areas juxtaposed against the stark white of the cloak. The artist's signature is visible in the lower corners.
