Thank you, but there are some serious problems with the layout. I
managed to find some very dirty workaround, so I can get the desired
effect, but nonetheless:
- titles are wider than the figure, so titles from left and right
overlap; what I ended up doing was
\framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.2\textwidth]{\externalfigure[cow][width=.4\textwidth]}
- titles are of different length (and have a different number of
lines), so I need to manually add \crlf in one of the titles to
achieve equal height and proper alignment;
- width=... and distance=... are weird; once I set some width,
distance only shifts the right figure outside of the page margin
