An African American jazz pianist, only Memphis Slim's head and shoulders are visible and he does not smile as he holds a microphone across his chest with his right hand and sits at a piano at an unidentified venue. There is a wall mural behind him of mountains and sky. A Schlitz beer sits on a table in the foreground. Memphis Slim wears a light colored shirt, necktie, and suit jacket.
No date; likely circa 1930
