Question 8 • [HSAT1] Art Sem 1 (26-27)

Answer:
The artist uses texture in the lace collar, soft velvet robe, furry ermine trim, shiny metal and gold objects, and patterned carpet. Careful brushwork and highlights make these materials look realistic. The contrasting textures are effective because they make Napoleon’s clothing and throne appear rich and luxurious. They also reinforce his power and royal status.
