The small-format bas‑relief of A. Strazdas (1899, illustration 226) is notable for its gentle psychologic depiction of the poet’s character. The dynamic impressionist sculpturing technique that shows the wrinkles on the dry oval face and the serene approach that diffuses the light on the hair and clothes emphasises the inherent sense of irony and nonconformist folk-loving nature of this opposition activist and poet.
