Edward Hicks' "A May Morning View of the Farm and Stock of David Leedon" (1849) is a prime example of the artist's signature "Peaceable Kingdom" style. Known for his idyllic depictions of rural Pennsylvania life, Hicks' paintings often feature a harmonious blend of animals, humans, and landscapes. The peaceful scene, populated by grazing cattle, farmhouses, and a backdrop of rolling hills, reflects Hicks' Quaker beliefs and his passion for simple rural life.
