Clandestine lovers meet in the woods among grazing sacrificial animals and the 3 wise monkeys in the trees. A row of red screaming ghosts fill the sky. There is a small ghostly mother and child next to the green tree trunk on the right.

Crushed dried leaves were adhered to the board before paint was applied which created a crinkly texture throughout.
