"The Treaty of Penn with the Indians" is a notable oil painting by Benjamin West, an Anglo-American painter of historical scenes around and after the time of the American War of Independence. Created between 1771 and 1772, the painting depicts a significant moment in colonial American history: the treaty of peace and friendship made in 1683 between William Penn, the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, and the Lenape (Delaware) Indians.

West, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1738, had a personal connection to the subject matter, as he grew up in the area where the historical event took place. The painting is an idealized representation of the peaceful agreement between the Native Americans and the Quakers, led by Penn. This event was emblematic of the early Quaker efforts to establish fair and non-violent relations with the indigenous peoples of North America, contrasting with the often violent encounters between colonists and Native Americans elsewhere.

The artwork is significant not only for its historical subject matter but also for its artistic merit and the role it played in West's career. Benjamin West was a prominent figure in the establishment of neoclassical history painting, and his works, including "The Treaty of Penn with the Indians," were influential in both Europe and America. The painting is characterized by its grand scale, classical composition, and the use of light to convey a sense of moral enlightenment and peaceful coexistence.

"The Treaty of Penn with the Indians" is held in high regard for its portrayal of an idealized, diplomatic approach to colonial-native relations, and it remains an important work for understanding the narrative of American history as envisioned by artists and historians of the 18th century. The painting is housed in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, serving as a testament to West's artistic legacy and the complex history of colonial Pennsylvania.
