Peaceable Kingdom
Hicks was a Quaker minister obsessed with sin who turned to painting to earn his livelihood. He painted nearly 25 versions on the subject of Penn's treaty with the Indians. Through the device of the child playing unharmed with wild animals, he is suggesting that white and red men can coexist in harmony and plenty.
