The image contains fifteen circular portrait silhouettes, arranged in a three-by-five grid. Each silhouette depicts a person in profile view with detailed facial features. The individuals are dressed in period-appropriate attire, with most facing left. Some have styled hair and two are women with formal updos. The portraits have a dark background and handwritten names below each. The grid is set against a plain, light-colored background.
