After discussions with the commissions in the Landesmuseum on August 10, 1897, Hodler tackles this third cardboard, on which he works in Bern until the end of the year. After the meeting on May 12, 1898 - the cardboard is not yet completely finished - the jury recommends its execution, but the Landesmuseum Commission demands another box (Geneva, Musée d'art et d'histoire). According to the memoirs of the first owner, Willy Russ-Young, Hodler retouched mainly the flags in the background in 1912.
