The People:

• On the far right: A man in a dark suit, white shirt, and bow tie. He is wearing glasses and holding a large, rectangular, framed plaque or certificate, which he is presenting. He is looking down at the paper or plaque in his hands.
• Next to him (center-right): A woman with short, white hair and glasses, dressed in a dark outfit. She is wearing a corsage on her left shoulder and a pearl necklace. She is holding a small, folded piece of paper or card and appears to be looking at it or listening intently.
