Lying in a decrepit state within an ornate coffin, a corpse with ghastly pale skin and sunken features is depicted talking with Speak With Dead spell. The figure's mouth is agape in a silent scream, revealing darkened teeth, and the eyes are closed as if in eternal rest. Wisps of ethereal hair float around the head, adding to the spectral quality of the scene. The coffin is adorned with intricate details and is slightly ajar, with a heavy chain draped across the body, hinting at a desire to keep whatever remains inside from escaping. The artwork is rendered with a chilling realism, capturing the eerie essence of gothic horror.
