Geyger began work on the figure of The Archer in 1895, a four metre version of the model was submitted to the Grosse Berliner Kunstaustellung in 1900. The Kaiser bought the piece and installed it in Sanssouci. The Archer was edited in three different sizes and proved very popular for the Gladenbeck foundry in Berlin.
