In Couture's composition, he depicts a scene wherein Harlequin and Columbine prepare to sign the marriage contract in the notary's quarters after several delays and interruptions caused by jealous rivals or by Columbine's miserly father, Cassandre.
Thomas grew up with a basic insecurity about his education, and he consistently wavered between a desire to show up authority with his independence, and a need to impress with his erudition.
Couture's most important contribution to the history of art was as an independent teacher, and his eclectic proclivities attracted an international student body.

 People- Thomas Couture
Manet spent six years in Couture's studio, rejecting his more contrived, 'academic' methods but benefitting from his liberal approach to sketching from nature and the use of relatively free brushwork.
Couture painted in a straightforward manner with a dry handling of paint, reflected in Manet's earliest works.
Although he was, and often still is, taken as the prototype of the unimaginative academic painter, he laid strong emphasis on spontaneity and would not examine a student's painting if it had benn retouched.

But Couture was not a man to be taken by a few pleasant words; he drew back and an- swered: Monsieur Delaroche, you have had im- mense success, you are a member of the Insti- tute, you have innumerable admirers.
Couture was a good painter, but a very bad courtier; he proved it every time he was placed in contact with the great ones of this world, whether sovereigns or members of the Institute of France.
Coutures method of giving a lesson to his pupils was as follows: While they looked on he painted a head from the model, and while he painted made judicious remarks as to the drawing, the color, the light and shade.

 Romans of the Decadence by COUTURE, Thomas
The peak in theatrical Romanticism came in the Salon of 1847, Couture, a pupil of Gros, exhibited this painting nearly eight meters long.
It is all to be found united here: the antique columned hall, sculpture competing with living figures, beautiful forms created with line in the manner of Ingres, and Delaroche's delight in detail.
The scene is framed by five larger-than-life-size sculptures representing men from Roman history, their gestures seeming to demand a return to virtue.

In 1846 Hunt went to Paris with the intention of joining the workshop of the sculptor James Pradier, but he was inspired to become a painter after seeing The Falconer (1855, 51x38cm) of Thomas Couture.
An example of his early figure painting is La Marguerite (1852, 116x90cm), which reflects Couture’s influence in its centralized composition, its definition of form through broad masses of light and dark and its rich and elegant textures.
Couture was a consummate technician, and his student assimilated and quickly mastered his doctrine of the primacy of style.
