A vintage illustration depicting three individuals in academic regalia, with two standing and one seated. The standing figures on either side are wearing mortarboards and gowns, and the one on the right is holding a scroll. The seated figure, also in a gown and mortarboard, is being handed a diploma by the figure on the left. Behind them is a gothic-style arched window, and the image has a textured background. The artwork has a signature at the bottom right.
