The image shows a can labeled "Savarin Coffee" with brushes or similar elongated objects inside it. The entire image is in shades of deep blue against a neutral, off-white background. The can is positioned at the bottom of the rectangular blue-painted area, with the brushes protruding upwards. The surrounding space outside the painted area is blank, and the artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner of the white area, slightly below the painted section.
