Plate Number 181. Stepping over a fence

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of photographs of a person in motion. The person is stepping over an object, possibly a pole or bar, in various stages of movement. The individual is a woman with her hair tied back and wearing a translucent dress. The photographs capture different angles of the woman as she carefully steps over the obstacle. There are no visible jewelry items on the woman. The background is a lined surface or wall that serves as a neutral backdrop for the subject's motion.
