Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sequence of plates depicting a woman walking. In each frame, the woman's movement is captured, showing different stages of her steps. She is seen in full-body shots from various angles as she moves forward. The woman's stance changes slightly with each frame. She has short, wavy hair and neutral facial expressions. The woman is nude and holds an object in some frames. The background consists of textured and smooth surfaces, possibly a wall and a flat ground surface.
