(*Actual/Real texture is texture that you can feel. Visual/implied texture is when something "looks like it has a texture it does not".  IE: a painting could have a smooth surface, but the content (the subject within the painting) might appear to be a rough and bumpy tree with dried leaves.)

**Durer's Rhino is implied because it is a 2D artwork that displays the texture of the animal's outer skeleton.
