Plate Number 15. Walking

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image displays sequential photographs of a person walking. Each frame shows the person in full body view, captured mid-step. The person's head is turned slightly to the side in the top row, with short hair styled close to the scalp. They are nude and not wearing any jewelry or holding anything. The background features a grid pattern, potentially for measurement, in an indoor setting with even lighting.
