Young Officer in a Zebra Coat, calling someone to give an account of his services.

"The zebra of the king's cabinet has become the model of the current fashion; all fabrics are striped, coats, gilets, resemble the skin of the handsome onager. Men, young and old, are in stripes from head to toe: the stockings are also striped."

SEBASTIEN MERCIER, Tableau de Paris, 1787
