Notes:
The Taxile Doat porcelains accessioned in 1911 were made in France at Doat's private studio and assembled by him as a study collection of form and technique. Doat brought the collection to University City, Missouri, intending to sell the works to Edward G. Lewis for the Museum of the Art Academy of the American Woman's League. In 1911 when the Art Academy closed and Doat was planning to return to France, he sold the collection to the City Art Museum. See correspondence from Taxile Doat to W. K. Bixby, President of the Board of Control, City Art Museum, dated March 23, 1912 [SLAM document files].
