Monument to Ivan Krylov

In 1855, a statue of the Russian fabulist Ivan Krylov was unveiled between the Main Alley and the Tea House. The monument was sculpted by Baron Pyotr von Klodt, responsible for the famous equestrian group on the Anichkov Bridge. The bas-reliefs on the monument were sculpted by Alexander Agin.
