"a painting of this was made in 1940 directly from life. One of my students at the K.C. Art Institute found the man selling snake medicines in the pool halls of 12th St in downtown K.C. He caught rattle snakes and let them rot and ferment in gallon jars and sold the [?] s an aphrodesiac. He was also a preacher and conducted a Sunday school class. This picture shows him telling about the Bible...The painting is in the [?] collection, Great Neck, N.Y."
