The people in the picture are not pictures. It's not a picture of pictures. The fact that the picture is not real does not make its subject not real. In fact, because the picture is a simplification, the picture could apply to any number of real people

Technically they are lights emitted by your computer screen that make up a picture that represent people that do not exist.

Even more technically they are electrical impulses perceived by your brain due to light signals interpreted by your eyes.
