Margit Kovács modelled her large family in a monumental relief of lively composition. Instead of the quadrangular compositional form common in the case of relieves, she created a framework embossment of irregular shape this time. Sitting figures positioned in the upper part of the composition built along a circular movement, form the undulating upper edge of the relief, while the bottom part is made up of a bench that curves in a semi-circle. In this realistically fashioned genre picture eight children grouped in pairs are positioned in a sitting posture next to the idealised figures of the father and the mother. Each of the figures sitting around the round-shaped, ready-laid table have been dynamically sculpted: they are either connected to each other in pairs or their characteristic movements are pointed toward the centre of the composition. This relief of firmly embossed figures is dominated by the beauty of the terracotta material without any glaze-coating.
