"Napoleon on his Imperial Throne" by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres 1806

This oil on canvas painting is an example of implied (simulated) texture.  When we touch the painting it is smooth on the surface, but when we focus on it we see a number of textural illusions.  The textures seen, are there to represent Napoleon as an ancient Roman emperor and convey his imperial power.  Everything from his intricate velvety outfit, to his shoes, to the rug underneath him; we can imagine the feel of these materials because of the artist's skill in creating illusions of texture.
