As an avid observer of wildlife, Brightwell was commissioned by the Zoological Society of London and the Marine Biological Association to make scientific drawings of animals. It’s probable that the artist created this image from observing the animals from a zoo. (Isabelle Chartier, "Shifting Ground", Fall 2017)
