Two doves carry a large patchwork coat through a cloudy sky in this illustration. One dove grips the front of the garment while the second holds a thread or string attached to it. The coat displays numerous colorful patches in green, purple, red, blue, yellow and other hues.

The top of the image includes the phrase COAT OF MANY COLORS in bold capital letters. A flowing cursive word reading Dolly appears near the right side of the composition. The website address for the artist appears in the lower right corner.

The visual draws on the well-known biblical account of Joseph's coat and the Dolly Parton song that shares the title. The doves add a symbol of peace to the colorful garment. The composition places the action above soft clouds with light blue sky tones.

The piece uses simple line work and watercolor-style shading to create the scene. The patchwork pattern on the coat stands out against the lighter background elements.
