Also known as informal balance, asymmetry is the opposite of symmetry.compositionreflect designbalanceprinciples of artharmonybalancesymmetry ASYMMETRY Jan (or Johannes) Vermeer (Dutch, Delft, 1632-1675), Young Woman with a Water Jug, c. 1660- 7,Young Woman with a Water Jug oil on canvas, 18 x 16 inchesoilcanvas
