    Basically, it's Edward Hicks' "Peaceable Kingdom",
    If you don't recognize the name of this painting -- or I should say "these paintings," because Edward Hicks actually produced several versions -- here it is:



    In the background, you can see the Quaker leader William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, meeting with a group of American Indians. The whole thing was meant by Hicks as a representation of Исаия 11:6-8 --

    6 Тогда волк будет жить вместе с ягненком, и барс будет лежать вместе с козленком; и теленок, и молодой лев, и вол будут вместе, и малое дитя будет водить их. 7 И корова будет пастись с медведицею, и детеныши их будут лежать вместе, и лев, как вол, будет есть солому. 8 И младенец будет играть над норою аспида, и дитя протянет руку свою на гнездо змеи.
