The image shows two figures engaged in a handshake. The person on the left is standing upright and facing right, wearing a pointed hat and a suit with vertical stripes. They have a neatly trimmed beard and curly hair, holding a book labeled "SCEPTICISME" under their arm. The person on the right is slightly bent backward with one arm raised, engaging in the handshake. They have long, tousled hair and a gaunt face, with loosely fitted clothing. A halo is above their head. The background has minimal detail, focusing on the two figures.
