Der Handel und die Wahrheit reichen sich die Hände 

"Der Handel und die Wahrheit reichen sich die Hände" is a drawing by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch artist who lived from 1695 to 1754. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a scene of allegorical figures representing Truth and Trade shaking hands. In the foreground, two cherubs play with a scroll, likely symbolizing the complex relationship between these two abstract concepts. The drawing is executed in a loose and gestural style, characteristic of de Wit's artistic practice, capturing the artist's initial concept for a larger composition. The image provides a glimpse into de Wit's creative process and his exploration of themes prevalent in 18th-century Dutch art, such as the importance of commerce and the pursuit of truth.
