Edward Hicks, known for his "Peaceable Kingdom" series, created this artwork, "Grave of William Penn at Jordans in England," in 1847. The painting is a simple and charming depiction of a landscape scene, featuring a white farmhouse, a stone wall, and a group of sheep, cows, and a shepherd tending to them. The pastoral setting emphasizes the peaceful simplicity that Hicks often incorporated into his work. This artwork serves as a reminder of the Quaker values that were dear to Hicks, especially those associated with peace and harmony with nature.
