Amazing image! Timeless ... And such food for the imagination. I imagine the older woman, with the key, has stood there forgenerations, doing her job. The woman on the right is her successor and the younger woman in the middle is the apprentice. Perhaps they are related ... grandmother, daughter, grandaughter. Perhaps their family has done this forever. And I wonder who they let in ... and who they keep out ...

What a find! Like actresses on a stage.

There is a story here. I noticed the key in the hand of the woman on the left, the open door, the view beyond, told in simple graphics and B&W!
