- A color lithograph depicting the painted image of a woman at center, in a red shirt and red glasses. She holds two masks, one white and one black, in her hand. Within a circle in the middle of her torso are two stereotypical figurines. At the left, a "golliwog" figure plays an upright base. At right is a female figurine in a floral shift has the same caricatured face as the "golliwog." In each corner of the print, the same cut-out image of a woman in a white shirt appears in different tones: brown at top right, black at bottom right, red at bottom left, and blue at top left. Along the bottom is handwritten in graphite: [2/3] at bottom left, [Two Faced] at center, and [Emma Amos 1999] at right.
