    Remarks: 
    The sculpture was installed by the J. C. Nichols Company in 1935. Beginning in the 1920s, developer J. C. Nichols, and later his son, Miller Nichols, installed sculptures they had imported from Europe in the Country Club district of Mission Hills. The sculptures were given to local homes' associations. J. C. Nichols' plan was to create an urban neighborhood with country estate charms in classical European style. Since that time, the city has taken over the upkeep of the sculptures.
