Which Frida Kahlo painting depicts two women joined by exposed hearts?

Frida Kahlo’s painting depicting two women joined by exposed hearts is The Two Fridas.

Kahlo painted The Two Fridas in 1939, during the period surrounding her divorce from Diego Rivera. The large double self-portrait shows two seated versions of Kahlo holding hands, with their hearts connected by blood vessels.

One figure wears European-style clothing, while the other wears Tehuana clothing associated with Mexican identity. The exposed hearts and visible circulation system suggest emotional pain, divided identity, and the relationship between the two figures.

The painting is often interpreted through Kahlo’s mixed heritage and marital crisis, but it does not have only one officially fixed meaning. It is distinct from Memory, the Heart, which focuses on a single figure and a large heart-shaped symbol.
