The painting depicts a serene landscape with a body of water, trees, and a blue sky with clouds. A young, white male child with short brown hair, wearing a red cloth wrapped around his waist, stands on the right side. He holds a small bunch of leaves in his left hand and pets a large lion with his right hand. The lion has a lamb and a wolf beside it, and a bull stands to the child's right. A goat with brown spots is positioned in front of the bull. The animals appear calm and peaceful. The scene represents a harmonious coexistence of humans and animals. The style of the painting is primitive and folk-art-like. The title of the painting is "The Peaceable Kingdom" and the artist is Edward Hicks.
