Specter in an Oil Farmhouse Parlor

An ethereal specter hovering in a weathered farmhouse parlor, rendered as an oil painting with expressive brushwork and textured impasto. The room is dimly lit by a lone oil lamp on a cracked wooden sideboard; dust motes drift in the amber glow. The specter is translucent, pale blue-white, wearing a faded 19th century dress, its features faint and eyes like pale orbs. The walls show peeling plaster and faded wallpaper, a creaky floor, an old clock, a rocking chair, and a dusty hearth. A moonlit window leaks cold light, contrasting with the warm lamp. The palette blends earthy ochres, siennas and burnt umber with hints of pale blue and green. The mood is melancholic and mysterious, a quiet haunting. The composition centers on the ghost emerging from shadows, with the lamp light reflecting on the translucent form; painterly brushstrokes emphasize texture and glow, reminiscent of late 19th century rural studio oil technique, with visible brushwork, soft edges around the specter, and subtle glazing. Suggested aspect: 3:4.
