Marian Gobius has carved many children's portraits and specialized in the figurative representation of man. She made images of women, men, children, sometimes lovely, sometimes even more tough. The images are sporty, active with a number of sculptures of two or three figures, where tension arises by placing them with their backs against each other or, conversely, facing each other, incorporating space into the composition. You can also see this characteristic in these two frolicking boys, who express opposing movements with their bodies, making the composition interesting from multiple angles. In terms of content, they are also personifications of virtues such as play, friendship, togetherness. In the 1960s, bronze (small) sculptures of children and young people were often made for public spaces, especially in numerous school yards.
