Did You Know?

Hicks painted more than 60 versions of the Peaceable Kingdom, and this example is likely the first.
A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a child in a red cloth leading a lion through a serene landscape. To the right, the child holds a flowering branch while resting a hand on the lion's mane near a brown cow. In the foreground, a gray wolf, white lamb, spotted leopard, and brown-and-white goat rest together. A river flows past rolling green hills and trees under a soft, pink-tinged sky.
