A painting, likely acrylic or oil on canvas, presents a composite scene of two women's faces in profile view, rendered in a style suggestive of Indian folk art. One woman's face is positioned slightly angled towards the viewer, with rich purple-grey tones and subtle shading creating depth. The other face, positioned further back, is also presented in profile, appearing subtly layered behind elements of the goddess Durga, recognizable by her ornate headdress. A large stylized owl with a bone-like pattern on its wings is positioned prominently in front of the woman's face to the far left.
The woman's faces are drawn with simplified features, yet the expressions are delicate and expressive. The women wear traditional-style garments; the fabrics are coloured in muted tones of mauve, purple, rose, and muted beige. The background elements and objects are suggestive of a domestic Indian interior with shaded areas blending into a darker teal-grey. The overall palette of shades of muted purples, grays, and beige creates a harmonious, muted visual effect. A signature or artist's mark is present in the lower right corner of the piece.
