TechnicalRegister
A pose in which a figure's weight rests on one leg, giving the body a graceful asymmetry.
The statue's easy contrapposto lends the marble a lifelike poise.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
