Hey, lundy. Cool. :-)
Google Lens found a twin ("Giocolieri" translates to "juggler"):
*snip*
"Giocolieri Marino Marini"

The guy was prolific, because the list of his works seems to go on forever at artnet dot com:
https://www.artnet.com/artists/marino-marini/
There's even one signed limited edition one that was once owned by Sid Caesar:

There is a museum of his works:

BTW, in case you had trouble deciphering any of the info at that Swedish site that had the twin, it looks like the end price in the auction was 300 Swedish Kroner, which in today's exchange rate is about 27 bucks.
I don't think that necessarily means anything in terms of the worth of any of Marino Marini's works, let alone any other print of his 1953 lithograph "Giocolieri."
What anything is worth has to do with the time and place of sale, how strong was the desire of the seller to sell it, and how strong the desire of the buyer was to buy it. Among other things. };-)
I found another hit, but with a different description of "two characters and a horse":

That description makes more sense to me than "jugglers," but then again, what do I know about anything?
Whoever matted the one at the Swedish site put "GIOCOLIERI" on the mat. Dunno where they got that info, but FWIW, Marino Marini did use various permutations of the word in titling many of his works.
Well that is very interesting thank you for the comments still searching
