Plate Number 2. Walking

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing a sequence of images depicting a subject walking. The frames are arranged in a grid format against a lined background, suggesting a study of movement and anatomy over time. The sequence illustrates the gradual progression of walking with detailed attention to the muscular form and shifts in position of the limbs. The repeated pattern conveys a sense of time progression and focus on human motion dynamics.
