Nr. 2: Mann og kvinne med lite barn mellom seg is a granite statue by Gustav Vigeland in Oslo. A man and woman stand with a small child between them. The group belongs to the Vigeland installation, an open-air park arrangement of more than two hundred sculptures. Its forms are smooth, rounded, and deliberately simplified. Vigeland used this clear style to examine family, human connection, and the stages of life through sculpted bodies. The close poses suggest unity and protection within the family.

Norwegian granite gives the figures a solid presence among the installation’s steps and platforms. Teams of stone carvers worked from Vigeland’s original models. The wider project developed over several decades, beginning in the early twentieth century and continuing until Vigeland’s death. The park arranges sculptures in a sequence suggesting life from birth to death. Here, ambiguous expressions leave the relationship open to your interpretation. The nearby Monolith rises seventeen metres and contains more than one hundred intertwined human figures.
