Edward Hicks (April 4, 1780 - August 23, 1849) was an American folk painter and prominent religious preacher of the Society of Friends (also known as "Quakers"). His paintings made him a Quaker icon.
Predominantly painted in earth tones with the lighter blue tones of water and sky in the background, the artwork is painted in a primitive style. There are thirteen animals and three children in the foreground. A lion is the central figure, surrounded by a wolf, lamb, leopard, goat, three calves, a young lion, cow, bear, bear cub and ox. The children touch the animals or place their hands on the animals' burrows. In the background are eight men in colonial garb and nine Indians. Two of the men show a long paper to four seated Indians, while another man talks to them.
