![“Infante Luis Antonio Jaime de Borbón, younger brother of Carlos III, was a great fan of the natural sciences, and created a cabinet [of curiosities] in which various animals were preserved. In addition…he possessed a live zebra, an exceptional animal in Europe at the time, which was later stuffed…that this animal was liked by the Infante is confirmed by Paret's commission for this illustration, rendered halfway between portrait and scientific drawing typical of the second half of the 18th century."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l5pcfqdnvtivhxufycjnvzui/bafkreic3tbijsardbxsghke2xs7v2dvwdv5jna3hpwnfelvffhdopl27sq)
