A contemporary article in The Homiletic Review called it an "impressive depiction of Christian faith and steadfastness" and described the two women to be in a "sisterly embrace". A modern interpretation by Kobena Mercer named the work as an example of an interracial lesbian couple, likening it to Les Amis by Jules Robert Auguste.

I like the details of the catholic symbols on the walls and the contrast of the dogs with obvious softness/gentleness of their love.

Are they also tied to the ring on the wall? I can see something on one of their wrists but no bindings on the other.
