You can use something like the following code but without a example from you it’s difficult to give a answer.

\showframe[text][text]

\starttext

\maxaligned\bgroup

	\startframed[frame=off,location=top,width=10cm,align=flushleft]%
	line 1\\
	line 2\\
	line 3
	\stopframed

	\hfill

	\tbox{\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm,height=4cm]}%

\egroup

\input knuth

\stoptext
