Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of sequential motion studies. The image captures a series of figures in motion, aligned in two rows, taken from side and back views respectively. Each frame shows incremental progressions of a figure stepping on a small staircase while holding an object. The background consists of lined grids. The lighting is consistent throughout the sequence.
