The portrait of Kazys Prapuolenis (1928), a canon, by Petras Kalpokas (1880–1945) is both ornate and formal. The time when the portrait was painted coincides with the active creative period in the artist’s life. In 1928, a large solo exhibition of Kalpokas was staged and the Catalogue of Petras Kalpokas’ Survey Exhibition was published by the Lithuanian Art Society. Prapuolenis is portrayed in a very representative manner. The canon, the first non-formal representative of Lithuania in the Vatican, researcher of Lithuanian history, publicist, and active public figure is painted wearing a cassock and state awards: the Cross of the Knight of the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas and the Cross of Officer of the Order of Vytautas the Great.
