Plate Number 25. Walking with shoes on

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a sequence capturing a form in motion. The image is a series of frames arranged in two rows, depicting a nude figure walking. Each frame shows a progression of movement, allowing the viewer to observe the subtle changes in posture and limb positioning as the figure moves forward. The top row shows a side view, while the bottom row captures the figure from the rear. The background consists of a grid pattern, likely used as a reference for studying movement, emphasizing both the scientific and aesthetic aspects of the composition.
