A black-and-white photograph depicting Louis Armstrong and a woman, identified in handwriting as "Nurse," seated together at a restaurant or club table. The table is set with plates, silverware, glasses, and several soda bottles. Armstrong is wearing a suit with a bold floral-patterned tie and pocket square, and is looking toward his companion with a broad smile. The woman is wearing a fur coat and is smiling toward the camera.

Armstrong has signed the photograph in white ink with the inscription: "To Nat / A fine fellow / Louis Armstrong" across the upper portion of the image, with the additional notation "Satchmo" written separately to the right, near Armstrong's left shoulder.
