No way to do so (Frame proportion have to change to match the right text col - and the bg-image inside set to cover).
One solution is to use extra space around the image (In your case the faces overflow). Second is to use diff image on tablet. Last option is do not use a lot of text for the right col (Or resize the text).
For regular images use one line of custom CSS code object-fit: fill;; - Example of tutorial related (In your case no need for the aspect ratio only for object-fit):
Out of box: Add overflow:scroll" for the text (Not so elegant but also solution).
