Ten years ago, Ron Schneider began a quest to find Henri Delattre's (1801-1876) oil painting of the celebrated Thoroughbred Lecomte. As the curator at the Old Lecompte High School and Museum in Lecompte, La., the painting enticed him. He would be reminded each time he saw the horse's image, which figures prominently on the central Louisiana town's official flag as well as the high school's yearbook.
