The work is based on the Lithuanian legend of Grand Duke Gediminas's dream: he dreamed of an iron wolf, after which, according to legend, he founded Vilnius. The static, symmetrical figure conveys strength, protection, and the legendary nature of this image. "Iron wolf" was conceived as part of a diptych together with the work "Gedimin" from the same period.
