What is the name of the painting with a curly-maned lion and other animals in bright colors?

I thought it was called Peaceable Kingdom? It's like the 19-th century "Peaceable Kingdom" with the lion and the lamb, but modern. I don't know what medium it is or the name of the artist?

What is the name of the painting with a curly-maned lion and other animals in bright colors?
Edward Hicks American, 1780-1849. Circa 1848 for this painting - so that's 19th century.


Link below includes the picture and this description:


"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb [center], And the leopard shall lie down with the kid [center foreground]; And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them [lower right corner]. And the cow and the bear shall feed [next to the tree in the upper right];鈥nd the lion shall eat straw like the ox [right center]. And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice鈥檚 den [lower left]."





Very nice background - smooth and soaring, I think.


See if it's the one you were thinking of!
Reply:Have you tried Laura Regan. She's a wildlife artist and children's book illustrator. I think it's still called "Peaceable Kingdom."
