Plate Number 38. Walking and opening a parasol

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing a sequence of a person walking while carrying and using a parasol. The image consists of black and white frames arranged in a grid, capturing different stages of the movement. Each frame shows a moment in the sequence, creating a sense of motion when viewed together. The action depicts the person carrying, opening, and raising the parasol. The setting appears to be simple, potentially outdoors, based on the lighting and shadows. The series of images focuses on the fluidity and grace of the movement.
