Joseph Smith Drinks a Mug of Beer at Moeser's Tavern in 1844 Nauvoo

Painted interior of a 19th-century frontier tavern lit by sunlight through a multi-paned window on the left. In the center, Joseph Smith — a man in a dark blue frock coat with a high white collar and white cravat — sits on a wooden stool at a long oak bar, half-turned toward the viewer, holding up a glass mug filled with amber beer and a white head of foam. Behind the bar, an older man in a beige shirt, dark vest, and white apron wipes the bar with a cloth, his head bowed. To Smith's right stand a young woman in a cream bonnet and tan calico dress and a man in a wide-brim hat and brown coat, both watching him. Wooden barrels, sacks of grain, and shelves of bottles fill the back wall.
