A gathering beneath the low grey sky

The Witches Convention groups figures around a rough upright marker on exposed coastal ground. Dark clothing and scattered objects form smaller clusters within the broad setting. The restrained colour and empty distance give the gathering a different atmosphere from the brightly dressed animal scenes.

Animals arranged as a formal encounter

His Majesty Receives places clothed creatures around a prominent standing figure within warm woodland colour. Their poses and accessories distinguish individual roles. The surrounding leaves provide a natural setting for a gathering organised through recognisably social gestures.

An encounter within the low vegetation

Foxes and Rabbits sets the animals among large leaves, broken earth and warm woodland light. The bodies remain close to the ground rather than standing as dressed characters. Compare this more natural arrangement with the upright figures and elaborate clothing of the imagined audience.
