A plot featuring a small blue disk (the positive charge) and a small red disk (the negative charge) with purple field lines extending from the former to the latter. The field lines are thin curves with arrowheads to indicate direction. Equipotential curves are shown on the plot as thin gray curves.

It was... unnecessarily difficult, getting Mathematica to plot a small set of electric field lines for a simple set of charges.
None of the built-in plot types (StreamPlot, etc) are compatible with all the standard rules for field lines!
