A vertically oriented print on cream-colored paper features a centered light blue rectangle. On the left, an ornate crest sits above the words GAULOISES and CAPORAL and a blue winged helmet logo. Fine vertical text and a circular logo are printed along the right. Below the rectangle, the word GAULOISES appears in bold black. This minimalist composition showcases graphic elements from a cigarette pack against a soft, textured background.
