Return to the end of the balcony near the door to the reading room. There's a break in the railing ahead and a framed painting on the wall. Take a running jump to grab the top of the picture frame.
Lara's weight pulls it down, revealing a button. Before the painting descends all the way, quickly jump back to the balcony. . .
. . . and shoot the button before the painting moves back into place. When you succeed, a concealed door opens near the bottom of the stairs.
NOTE: In order to make Lara shoot the target automatically as soon as you press the Fire button, you should have the Combat Mode set to Advanced Toggle or Advanced Hold. If you have it set to Manual, you'll need to press the Manual Aim key, sight on the target and then fire, which takes a bit more time. (For more info on Combat Modes and targeting, see the Controls page.)
