This has been tried in research and works, with typical artefacts such as horses getting zebra-stripes if they stand in tall grass (or something like that ...)

That sounds very similar to Dürer's Rhinoceros. Or in general, learned people trying to draw from even detailed descriptions.

> Dürer's Rhinoceros is the name commonly given to a woodcut executed by German painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer in 1515.[1] The image is based on a written description and brief sketch by an unknown artist of an Indian rhinoceros that had arrived in Lisbon in 1515.[2] Dürer never saw the actual rhinoceros, which was the first living example seen in Europe since Roman times.
