Contrapposto means that a figure is standing with all of his weight resting on one foot. The figure's body follows, and so the body is shaped slightly like an S curve. Typically the term is used to describe classical and renaissance art.
The contrapposto pose has a human figure resting all of their weight on one foot. The body naturally shifts to one side because of this, and the body is curved like a subtle S. It is most common in classical nudes.
Contrapposto is an asymmetrical arrangement of the human figure in which the line of the arms and shoulders contrasts with while balancing those of the hips and legs.
