Salvator Rosa's "Scenes of Witchcraft: Evening" depicts a dark, circular scene. Three disheveled, shirtless witches occupy the center, surrounded by trees and a crescent moon on the left. One witch pours a liquid from a ladle into a cauldron while another holds a book. A skeleton in a red cape hovers above, holding a lantern. The witches stand on a clearing with scattered items: a book on the ground, a small fire with a pot beside it, and bread nearby. The background shows a dark sky with a crescent moon and a distant landscape on the left. The image is set against a stark black background.
