This smaller painting was created after the artist’s trip back to his native Donbass at the beginning of the 1930s. We know of a photograph from Deineka’s archive with a group of adolescents running out of a river, which seems to have prompted the theme of the painting. The artist creates a generalised character for his young contemporaries, hot-tempered and joyful in work and play.
