Question:

What is the name of the painting where a child is leading various predator animals?

I think the painting was painted in the 18th or 19th century and it depicts a child leading for a lion and a lamb and various other animals whom are normally predatory towards each other all of whom are lying down with each other and at peace. Need the title and/or name of artist for the work. Very popular traditional painting. It stems from a biblical quote about the 2nd coming of Christ I believe. "A little child shall lead them."Help this is important!
