Framed Late 19th/Early 20th Century Print of Two Men in a Study

This item is a framed print depicting two formally dressed men in what appears to be a library or study setting. The print exhibits a monochromatic or grayscale palette, possibly sepia-toned originally, but appearing in various shades of blue and white due to the image quality and lighting. The frame is a dark-colored, likely wood or wood-composite, with a simple, possibly reeded or carved, profile. The overall condition of the print within the frame is difficult to assess precisely due to the low resolution of the provided image, but it appears to be reasonably intact with no obvious major tears or creases visible from a distance. The print features two male figures: one closer to the viewer, seen from the back, wearing a suit and what appears to be a fedora or bowler hat; the other figure is positioned further back and to the left, facing the first man, also in a suit and hat, with a discernible mustache. Both men appear to be engaged in conversation or contemplation. The background prominently features tall, multi-shelved bookcases filled with books, indicating an interior, scholarly space. A floor lamp is visible to the right of the central figures, and the flooring appears to be tiled or patterned. The style suggests a late 19th or early 20th-century aesthetic, common for illustrations or photographs from that period. There are no visible artist signatures or maker's marks, and the print looks like a mass-produced item rather than a unique artwork. The craftsmanship of the frame seems standard for decorative wall art.
