This is the Signed unique original Gouache painting by Richard Hook.
The Seers Who Scared the Scottish Kings. For centuries, the wise men of Scotland prophesied events that would alter the course of history.
But none felt the pain of the vision as much as the son of a shepherdess who knelt and wept for the blood that would later be spilt at Culloden.
