Dice Wiki: Ivan the Terrible Showing His Treasury to Jerome Horsey by Alexander Litovchenko. Jerome Horsey was the ambassador of Queen Elizabeth I of Great Britain, and got to know Tsar Ivan IV fairly well during his time there. Behind Ivan can be seen Fyodor, his heir.

heir = heredero.

Claro que el cuadro es posterior, de 1875, dice la misma Wikimedia. Y continúa, explicando que el cuadro está en el Russian Museum, de St. Petersburg

Como yo vivo en la UE, se me aplica el primero de los casos y puedo reproducir, la pintura, sin problemas en este blog. Pero no olviden, los mexicanos, colombianos, samoanos y habitantes de la Costa de Marfil, que no lo pueden hacer... Salvo que cambien las leyes, que sería lo más saludable.
