About the piece
Edward Hicks' 'The Peaceable Kingdom' is a cornerstone of American folk art, reflecting the Quaker artist's vision of universal harmony. In this 1835 composition, powerful predators like lions and leopards sit calmly alongside gentle lambs and oxen, while children play safely among them. In the distance, a small scene depicts William Penn's legendary treaty with the Lenni Lenape people, further underscoring the theme of reconciliation and peace.
