Plate Number 100. Turning and ascending stairs

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a sequential study of motion. The image features a grid layout containing multiple frames capturing the stages of movement of a figure in a long, flowing garment. The upper row shows the individual in profile, moving lengthwise across the frame, while the lower row depicts them facing forward, illustrating the progression of motion across the steps. The contrast and detail highlight the flow and temporal progression within this motion study.
