This sculpture stands proudly as a stele with text flanked by two allegorical figures, the left one representing "the anxious Fatherland, confident in the dedication of its children", Helvetia herself with the Swiss coat of arms, and the right one symbolizing "the mourning of Lausanne". Unveiled on 30th October 1921 at the Place Saint-François, it was created by Casimir Reymond who studied painting at the School of Fine Arts of Geneva from 1910 to 1913. After that, he turned his attention to sculpture and received a federal grant for Fine Arts in 1914. Between 1918 and 1919, he crafted a biblical motif relief for the cathedral of Lausanne, participated in several exhibitions in Paris between 1921 and 1925, and designed monumental neoclassical caryatids for Marble the lobby of the Federal Court from 1925 to 1927. He also created impressive busts of artists of his time, such as Felix Vallotton in 1923 and Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz in 1927.
