as well as the children, are standing and it appears that some are walking toward the seated woman. It is similar to a scene one would see at a mall,
except this is depicted in a beautiful architectural find typical for the time period. The latter picture looks to be about a dozen individuals, where about one or two seem
to be children. The characters are not as clearly defined as obviously, the composition differs due to the number of people in the work. At first glance, Cornelia Pointing to
Her Children as Her Treasures appears bright and airy and pleasant. The Village Bride, by contrast, is truly dark and somewhat frightening. From the title of the first, one

would also a appear pleasant as it infers that someone is getting married. However, the painting that contains a dozen subjects depicts a rather poor situation. One can pick out
the bride when one looks carefully enough, but she is nothing like one would expect a bride to look like today due to her drab appearance. When first looking
at the Kauffmann work, the image is one that provokes contentment and even joy whereas the Greuze painting prompts feelings of fear and depression. It is not clear why the
images would have such an effect--as it could relate to something in a viewers past-- but it is most likely due to the lightness and darkness of the paintings respectively.
