I just returned from New York and ran across "The Pardon in Brittany" by Dagnan-Bouveret at the Met. Based on the discussion here, I took a closer look at the painting. The "kneeling" woman, and the figure to her immediate right are in fact sitting on a step. Their legs are not visible in the painting. The figures processing in front of the begging figures are at a level of two steps below the sitters. This would also explain the perception that the middle processing figures are too short.
