"The Card Players" destroyed (no other info)
During the mid-1990s a rectangular composition with a similar theme, using kid gloves entering from four directions of the 'table top' like composition was being finished. I was witness to the construction of the piece as Miss Lesch allowed my input on the composition.

Alma Lesch knew this artist. Recieving a note from Mrs. Louis Arnaud Faurest from Elizabethtown, KY after the death of Bob Thompson.
The artist's mother worked for Ms. Arnaud and speaks of the painter's death in Rome and burial "in the negro cemetery which hurt my feelings." The note also states "Bob Thompson's mother has promised to let us have his Louisville paintings for exhibit here. Our Lively Arts has something for local talent occasionally. I would like to have your book (Vegetable Dyeing) for our County Library.
