The image shows two men shaking hands. The man on the left stands upright with his left hand raised, wearing a cap and long coat with visible buttons and epaulets. His facial features include a prominent nose and elongated chin, and he has sideburns. He wears knee-high boots and has a monocle on his left eye, connected by a cord. The man on the right leans back slightly, with a rotund frame and curved posture. He has a bushy hairstyle and a mustache, and a neutral expression. He wears a long overcoat, a layered suit with a bowtie, and buckle shoes. He holds the other man's hand in the handshake. The background features a patterned wall with a window or grid design displaying the word "CAISSE," and the setting appears to be indoors with a flat floor.
