This is the unique original Gouache painting by Jack Keay.

Ivan the Terrible was Grand Prince of Moscow and Sovereign of all Russia from 1533, and the first Tsar (Czar) of all Russia from 1547 until his death in 1584.

The second panel seems to show the Edward Bonaventura, The famed treasure ship which was wrecked in a storm carrying a huge amount of gifts to impress Queen Mary I and encourage a powerful alliance between Russia and Britain.

Jack Keay has painted these four panels directly onto a piece of illustration board in his distinct style.

Painted for the Children's Annual 'Tell Me Why', this 4 panel painting shows the ruthlessness of Ivan the Terrible.
