The image depicts a drawing of two men in a satirical style. The man on the left is drinking from a large glass container. He has a pronounced nose, thin lips, and slicked-back hair. He wears a dark coat over a light-colored shirt. The man on the right has a skeptical facial expression, with pursed lips, peering eyes, round spectacles, and disheveled hair. He wears a dark suit with a bow tie. He holds a glass in one hand and rests the other hand on his hip. Both men are set against a lightly shaded background with the word "ACTUALITÉS" displayed at the top.
