This painting by Vasily Demidov shows Tsarina Natalia Cyrilovna coming out onto the porch of the palace with both Tsars, Ivan and Peter, and members of the clergy. In all probability the scene depicts a ritual connected to Peter’s name-day when, in reply to the greetings of the people, he could pardon criminals.
