Plate Number 626. Gallop, thoroughbred bay mare, Annie G.

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a group of sixteen photographs of a horse in motion, arranged in four horizontal lines of four. The images capture the various stages of a horse galloping. The horse is seen from the side, with each frame showing a different position of the horse's legs and body as it runs. A person is riding the horse, wearing white pants, a black shirt, and a hat. The background is neutral gray. There are black lines between each row of photographs, and each has a small number in the bottom left corner.
