The image depicts the grand staircase area within Hôtel Costes, located at 239 Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, France. A light-skinned female individual with shoulder-length light brown hair stands poised on a curved, illuminated staircase, facing the camera. She wears a dark, open blazer over a dark top, a light-colored mini-skirt, and dark boots. Her right leg is bent, with her foot on a higher step. A small, dark object in her left hand emits a distinct blue light onto her left thigh. Three additional individuals are present in the foreground, their backs primarily turned to the viewer, positioned at the bottom or lower steps of the staircase. Their attire appears dark due to ambient shadow. A light-colored, feathered object is visible near the rightmost foreground individual's shoulder. The environment is dimly lit with warm, ambient lighting emanating from beneath the staircase treads. A polished metal handrail lines the staircase. Architectural features include a large, fluted classical column with a capital on the right, behind which a deep red curtain is visible. A green exit sign is mounted on a dark, angled wall section in the upper left. A large green palm frond hangs into the upper right corner of the frame. The walls are a warm, light tan color.
