People in a museum gaze upwards, appearing engaged. Behind them, a large framed painting depicting historical figures is displayed on the wall. Marble statues and ornate columns are also visible in the background.

Four men are casually gathered outside near a building. One is sitting on a ledge, two are standing in conversation, and the fourth is looking down with his arms crossed. They appear relaxed in their casual attire.
