Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Her figure appears in the front line of figures, denoting more prominent status than those represented in the second line or further distance.
2. Her form is carved in highest relief, with one foot extending into space. This suggests a dual position, one within the family and one with status in the larger social world.
3. Reflecting her status as mother, she occupies space between a son and son-in-law, visually and symbolically connecting the line of patriarchal power.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The figures are placed left and right of the vertical center of the image.
2. The body position and pose of the figures mirror each other.
3. The man leans in toward the woman, as she leans away from him.
4. The figures are lighted at the same level, with equal degrees of highlight and shadow.
