This is the unique original Gouache painting by Ron Embleton.

King Charles I and William Harvey discussing the heart and what to have for dinner. Note that the art was cropped so that the figure on the top left has head outside the panel also damaged / missing board to top and lower right. Nevertheless a wonderful character study by Ron Embleton.

Harvey was an English physician who made seminal contributions in anatomy and physiology. He was the first known physician to describe completely and in detail the systemic circulation and properties of blood being pumped to the brain and body by the heart. He also investigated several cases of alleged Witchcraft for the King who's private physician he was.

The original publication was possibly in Treasure rather than Look and Learn.
