This print features a Coca-Cola bottle full of brown liquid superimposed over a red circle with the Coca-Cola logo. In front of the logo is a nude woman, partially obscured by the bottle. One of her breasts is visible, and the sides of her bare hips are visible from behind the neck of the bottle, showing tan lines. She has tan skin and light brown hair, and she looks out at us with her arms wrapped around her torso. She has a small nose, pink lips, and dark eyebrows. The background of the print is light yellow, with the bottle casting a dark shadow behind it.
