About the piece
Painted around 1845, this work by Edward Hicks is one of his most celebrated versions of 'The Peaceable Kingdom.' It illustrates a Quaker vision of earthly harmony, where natural predators and gentle livestock dwell together in peace. In the background, Hicks includes a depiction of William Penn's treaty with the Lenni Lenape people, grounding the biblical allegory in a specific American historical context.
