Plate Number 71. Running

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a sequence capturing motion. The image shows a series of still frames depicting the motion of a figure. The sequence is arranged in two rows, each showing a series of frames where the figure appears to be moving across a consistent background. The first row shows the figure in different stages of stride. The second row shows the figure moving in a reversed direction, with a focus on the sway and flow of a long material or garment. Each frame captures a slight change in posture, illustrating the progression of movement over time. The photographs are in black and white.
