Here is a short formal analysis comparing the two.
Differences
The Anthrupumurphic Stele was found in Saudia Arabia and reflects the Middle Eastern style of art while the Running Horned Women was found in Algeria which reflects the African style and culture of that time period.
Both of these have a different medium. the Anthrupumurphic Stele is sandstone while the Running Horned Women is pigment of rock.
The Stele would be described as abstract art and the Horned Women would be stylized.
The Stele was thought to be used as a head stone while the women can't be determined unless it was a religious place as the women could be a witch doctor.
Similarities
There actually a similarity and the first that they both were thought to be made around the 4th millennium.
Both of these paintings depict a time when the areas that they were found from were lush and full of life. What we see today is that the area that the horned lady was found out is now the Sahara Desert and the other Stele was found in the desert areas of Saudi Arabia. So both show of a time when these places were livable.
Both show the human thought from that period and it was amazing to see that they could come up with.
