The video was filmed inside Little Flower, a small cafe in Astoria, and the photo on the wall is a portrait of this woman. The caption for Little Flower's Instagram photo translates to "Paradise is under the feet of mothers," so I'm guessing the photo is the cafe owner's mother.
(For the curious, I found the location by searching for references online to a bakery named "Noel's" in NYC, which can be seen in the background of the video. That led me to the Instagram account for Noel's NYC, which primarily sells their goods at Little Flower. Looking at interior images on Google Maps and Yelp confirmed it was the right location. The portrait was posted twice on Little Flower's Instagram.)
