Subject matter
A photograph from a portfolio of images in which Helmut Newton depicts celebrities, designers and models in highly contrived poses and often placed in decadent scenes. In this photograph, two women meet in a doorway in the famously affulent 16th arrondissement in Paris where Newton resided. In the apartment, a maid stands staring anxiously at an upperclass woman who forcefully places her hand holding a clutch on the doorframe and stands with her other hand on her hip. 

Physical Description
This photograph depicts two women facing each other in the door way of an upper class apartment.
