The soft pink ink on the cream coloured paper provides an interesting backdrop for the purple, green, blue, yellow, brown, black, and orange inks of this unkindness in "Storytelling of Ravens." The background is left unornamented while figures jostle one another and jockey for position in the foreground. Visually, they are not easily separated from one another and there is little to no trace of linear composition. The result creates a sense of spontaneity and a shifting sense of action.
