He’s wearing a lanyard, suggesting he is a speaker or participant. Next to him, a woman in a teal top is seated, looking toward him attentively. On the table in front of them are water bottles and a takeaway coffee cup, and a blue curtain forms the background, typical of a formal event or conference stage.
