This painting is highly realistic, depicting two painted images of Marilyn Monroe (painted to look like black-and-white photographs) on a table draped in red cloth, surrounded by other objects. One of the photographs of Marilyn Monroe is in a gold frame on the left side of the painting. The other appears to be in an open book that is propped on a table. Both photographs are the same and show Marilyn Monroe from the neck up, smiling and looking happy. In front of the framed photo and book are a blue chalice-like glass, an hourglass, another black-and-white photo of two young girls, fruit, a makeup compact, lipstick, a clock, and a burning red candle in a gold candlestick. Behind the framed photo and books are a draped purple cloth, a rose, a paintbrush dripping red paint, a calendar, and green grapes.
