Backlighting | exposing for background and foreground

Backlighting: exposing for the background light.

Backlighting: exposing for the foreground light.
*Above are the two examples for exposing for the foreground and background when a scene is backlit. These aren't the best examples. You can see that in the first image, the trees are properly exposed but the curtains and sculpture are too dark. In the second image, the curtains and sculpture are more properly exposed and the background is too bright. I could have either photographed on a sunny day OR moved the sculpture inside the bedroom OR used a brighter artificial light indoors to make the subject in complete silhouette.
