Plate Number 16. Walking

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a sequential motion study. The image consists of multiple black and white panels arranged in three rows, documenting the stages of a figure walking. The background features a lined or gridded pattern that helps accentuate the movement captured in the panels. Each frame captures minute changes in the figure's position, creating a sense of dynamic motion when viewed collectively.
