The way something is made or constructed, especially referring to the style of execution in art or literature; craftsmanship or technique.
From Old French facture, from Latin factura 'a making or doing,' from facere 'to make.' Entered English in the 15th century through art and literary criticism.
Art critics use this to discuss how a painter applied brushstrokes or how an author constructed their sentences—it's all about the visible craft, not just the final result.
