Description: | This is one of a number of paintings of living animals at the Royal College of Surgeons by the Swiss artist Jacques-Laurent Agasse that were commissioned by Lord Merton. The animals are mainly shown in profile and, although painted in a manner that reflects that the works are painted from life, are intended to be seen as scientific records. This painting shows a male Quagga, an animal believed at the time to have been a cross between a Zebra and a Pony but now known to be a rare breed of Pony, now extinct. | Subjects: | animal (Quagga) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Agasse, Jacques Laurent (Swiss artist, 1767-1849) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8485... | Go to resource |
