The work of the sculptor Kęstutis Balčiūnas reflects a historical figure confidently walking forward, with accurately reproduced facial features, clothes of that era and an authentic portfolio. Rita Vileišytė-Bagdonienė, the daughter of J. Vileišiš living in the USA, who came to the unveiling ceremony of the sculpture, confirmed that the sculpture is very similar to her father.
