The technique of making the grain of the wooden table smaller and less distinct on the far side than on the near side is an example of texture gradient, which is a depth perception cue that relies on the change in texture as distance increases. Linear perspective involves the use of converging lines to show depth, superposition involves overlapping objects to show depth, and shadowing involves the use of shadows to show depth.
