Plate Number 43. Walking, sprinkling water from a basin and turning around

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing a person carrying a container in a sequence of motion. The image has three rows with frames capturing the movement. The frames show the person pouring or spilling liquid from the container. The images show distinct moments in the sequence in a grid format. The background is a gridded backdrop and the liquid is splashing as it is displaced from the container in different frames. The arrangement provides a visual study of movement over time.
