The image displays intersecting red lines creating a grid pattern. In the grid, there is a red rectangle with "Coca-Cola REFRESHES YOU BEST!" written on it. Two green tilted rectangles resembling the letter 'H' overlap the grid. A black handprint is visible on the right side, along with a sketch of a paintbrush below it. An orange paint spray drips from the center of the Coca-Cola sign. Pencil annotations and markings are visible on the canvas.
