This ex libris is dedicated to the historic Italian city of Penne, renowned for its deep traditions in graphic art. In this work, the artist masterfully intertwines architectural motifs—the city's characteristic brick arches—with a stylized human profile, creating a cohesive narrative of time and history. The monumental composition, divided into rhythmic quadrants, combined with the deep texture of the paper, lends the piece an archaic grandeur typical of Kmieliauskas's mature graphic period.
