    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.

    If you haven't seen it yet, this one is just INSANE, but in a peaceful, Zen-like way. It's exactly what the title says:



    Be sure to watch until the 1:18 mark -- at which point a pit-bull dog dressed as a hammerhead shark walks into the room! And nothing happens except complete tranquility and love! Basically, it's Edward Hicks' "Peaceable Kingdom", but with fuzzy shark-costumes and a robotic vacuum cleaner...

    ...one might even say that he looks good enough to eat!

    (Sorry, I couldn't resist. And I'm curious to know whether there are Russian expressions similar to "you look good enough to eat" or "you're so cute, I could eat you up!")

    “Соблазнительный” can be equally used to mean both “tasty” and “sexy”.
    Ответы@Mail.Ru: какое самое соблазнительное блюдо?

    Ответы@Mail.Ru: Сегодня слышала такие слова - соблазнительный мужчина...Меня удивило немного и я задумалась...Что это за зверь такой?))

    E.g. Puma: Кевин, ты такой соблазнительный, прямо благоухаешь…короче, не пора ли нам пора, что мы делали вчера.))

    “Сладкий (сладенький)” and “аппетитный” have a secondary meaning “appealing”, “sweet”, in certain contexts just as well.
