Zebra 

This artwork, "Zebra," by Spanish artist Luis Paret y Alcázar, depicts a zebra standing in a lush, detailed landscape. Paret, known for his intricate and realistic style, captures the animal's distinctive black and white stripes with great precision. The zebra's pose is naturalistic, suggesting a moment of quiet observation. The background features a partially obscured stone building and a sky with fluffy clouds, adding a sense of depth and grandeur to the composition. The inscription at the bottom of the image indicates that the zebra was in the possession of the Duke of Bourbon. This work exemplifies Paret's skill in animal portraiture and highlights the fascination with exotic animals that was prevalent during the 18th century.
