Plate Number 29. Walking and carrying a bucket of water in each hand

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of motion studies captured in a photograph. It shows two rows of images portraying the process of carrying a bucket. The top row displays side views taken at intervals, illustrating the walk cycle progression. The bottom row showcases the same action from the back. A grid backdrop is present, likely used for measurement and analysis of motion. The sequence offers a detailed examination of locomotion, focusing on movement dynamics and balance. The style is reminiscent of Eadweard Muybridge.
