Immer wieder setzt sich Marcks in seinem plastischen Werk mit dem Motiv des stehenden Aktes auseinander und findet dabei stets zu neuen Haltungsmotiven körperlicher Entspannung und Ausbalanciertheit. Durch den nur leichten Kontrapost sowie die minimale Verschiebung der Körperachsen ist die vorliegende Bronze "Jugend" nicht nur als Sinnbild von Schönheit sondern auch eines ausgeglichenen Insichruhens lesbar, das durch die verschränke Armhaltung der Dargestellten in seiner Wirkung noch gesteigert wird.
