A man with orange-tinged brown skin and wearing a white chef’s hat smiles widely as he holds a steaming bowl on a plate in this vertical color screenprint. He also wears a white jacket over a white high-collared shirt with a cherry-red bowtie. Black outlines define the uniform and the man’s face, and blocks of black shading define his features. His eyes crinkle as he grins, and he has a wide nose and round chin. The hand holding the plate is also shaded brown. The rim of the bowl is decorated with a rippling yellow band, and steam rises from the dish. The scene is enclosed by a wide, lemon-yellow frame in which printed black text reads, “NO MORE O’ THIS SHIT.” The artist inscribed the paper under the printed image with “A/P” in the lower left and “rupert garcia 1969 in the lower right.
