About the piece
'The Peaceable Kingdom' is a quintessential masterpiece of American folk art by Edward Hicks, illustrating the biblical prophecy of universal peace. Painted around 1846, it features a dense, charming arrangement of expressive animals—including a majestic lion, a spotted leopard, and a great ox—dwelling safely with children, while a historical scene of William Penn's treaty unfolds in the distant background.
