The portraits include historical and contemporary figures, depicted in both color and black-and-white photographs. The ornate frames have intricate gold and pink patterns, giving the collage a celebratory and elegant look. The women in the images appear in various settings, including professional, academic, artistic, and personal environments, showcasing different eras, ethnicities, and roles.
