Curatorial Remarks
This doll, along with two others, was made for me by my maternal grandmother, Anna Quapaw McKibben. My dad, Charles Banks Wilson, drew on their faces. One time when Thomas Gilcrease had come to visit us in Miami, Oklahoma, my parents gave Mr. Gilcrease my dolls. I imagine these dolls were given to Mr. Gilcrease when my dad was doing Thomas G’s portrait. That would fit the timeline. Mr. Gilcrease would come over to the house and mom would fix these wonderful meals.
