This print includes depictions of two faces surrounded by small circular stickers. One face is on the upper left and the other is on the lower right of the print. They are both depicted in dark lines against the off-white paper and appear to have dark skin. The person on the left has sharper figures and is turned towards the right, while the person on the right has softer features and faces us. Around these faces and overlapping with them are several lines of circular stickers featuring the silhouette of a black panther and the phrase "BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL." The background of the stickers is a pale orange color.
