The artwork features two faces prominently placed against a light background. The face on the left has distinct facial features with a smooth hairline, while the face on the right has more defined, darker eyebrows and a headscarf. Both faces are surrounded by vibrant, colorful brush strokes in shades of blue, red, pink, and green. Below the faces, several hands are depicted in various colors. The names "Elizabeth C.P. Stanton" and "Lucretia P. Mott" are written beneath the respective faces. The overall composition blends realism with abstract elements.
