Plate Number 187. Dancing (fancy)

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a set of twelve sequential images showing a figure in flowing fabric posing against a gridded backdrop. The fabric trails elegantly, emphasizing the figure's movement. The grid lines provide a reference for the scale and direction of the movement. Each photograph captures a different moment in the sequence.
