Sir Jerome Horsey was a resident of the Russia Company in Moscow from 1572 to 1585. His house next to the Kremlin is still shown to tourists. During his stay in Moscow, Horsey got to know Tsar Ivan the Terrible rather well. In a lively account of his Russian experiences Horsey recalls how the Tsar led him to his Kremlin treasury to boast his riches. The painting represents the precociously aged and short-tempered monarch seated in the Kremlin Armoury, his half-witted heir Fyodor standing behind, a group of distrustful boyars whispering at a distance, the Tsar's jester in a skomorokh cap addressing Horsey, who is accompanied by another guest in foreign attire.
