Thiebaud painted everyday consumer objects like packaged goods using flat, clean color planes and a quiet contemplative stillness that closely mirrors Iqbal's treatment of the cigarette pack as a geometric still life subject.

Wesselmann frequently depicted consumer brand packaging and cigarettes using bold flat color fields and minimal compositional arrangements within interior corner spaces, directly echoing the geometric minimalism and subject matter of this work.

Caulfield specialized in depicting mundane interior objects rendered with flat unmodulated color planes and clean geometric forms, creating the same kind of quiet and contemplative still life atmosphere present in Iqbal's cigarette pack painting.
