Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is B. smooth.

 

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was a French neoclassical painter and the acknowledged leader of the neoclassical school in France. He was a talented painter and draftsman known for his smooth textures in paintings and drawings. The texture was so smooth that even appeared to be illusionistic.

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

Smooth textures.

Explanation:

As with consequently several of his paintings, Ingres relishes in catching surface textures: the elegant velvet; the fresh luster of the silk, browning the flesh; the braided tassle of the cushion; the glossy coating on the wood texture, all crocheting throughout and animate the appearance. See the way, for instance, the shawl points us to her face or the white muslin wraps her hair, billowing off to the right so as to equalize the momentum of her left arm.
