Object Description
A black and white photograph of six formally dressedĀ individuals standing within an office-space. The figure to the far left is dressed in a floor length evening dress with a matching hat, earrings, pearl necklace, bracelet, and black handbag. They are seen standing next to an individual wearing a striped suit, tie and a pair of glasses. In the central left is an assume nun based on the coif head piece. They are dressed in a button-up suit jacket with a matching skirt. Located on the central-right hand side is a bishop dressed in religious garments and a medallion hanging around the neck. To the right of the assumed bishop are two standing individuals. The figure closest to the bishop is dress in a suit with a matching skirt, a decorative pin attached to the collar of the suit jacket, jewelry (earrings and a pearl necklace), and is holding a handbag in their hand. To the far-right is an individual dressed in a suit with large buttons going down the jacket, a necktie, a pocket handkerchief, and is wearing a pair of glasses. The figures are standing in a office like-setting that is richly decorated with two large paintings in metallic frames, a sconce (a decorative light fixture mounted onto a wall), and a wooden coffee with a glass dish seen in the lower right corner. Behind the two formally dressed individuals to the left is a bookcase.
