An open box of Turmac cigarettes is in the center of the image. The cigarettes are neatly arranged inside, with one extended outward. The color palette is primarily white and shades of gray, with a subtle hint of black for text and borders. The box is placed towards the top right of the image, casting a shadow to the right. The text "DIE MARKE DER KENNER" is printed to the left of the box on the same cream-colored surface.
