About the piece

Painted by renowned American folk artist Edward Hicks, this scene captures William Penn and his companions negotiating with Native American leaders. The work is characterized by Hicks's distinctively flat, charming style and serves as a peaceful vision of early American history, set against a backdrop of colonial architecture and ships in the distance.
