Collection in Focus: The Lamb in Edward Hicks’s “A Peaceable Kingdom with Quakers Bearing Banners”

Edward Hicks painted more than 60 versions of “Peaceable Kingdom,” and each one includes an assortment of animals, such as this leopard and lamb, gathered peacefully together.
Sarah Monks, Lecturer in Art History at the University of East Anglia, explains how these animals illustrate the Quaker belief in true harmony.
