2. Opposition, or difference of position, attitude, etc. , of figures, or of their several members; as in painting and sculpture.
3. Opposition of things or qualities; or the placing of opposite things in view, to exhibit the superior excellence of one to more advantage. What a contrast between modesty and impudence, or between a well-bred man and a clown!
