Plate Number 189. Dancing (fancy)

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a series of 12 frames showing a woman in various dance poses. She is balancing on one leg with the other lifted, arms extended holding a flowing fabric. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a sheer, flowing dress. She is barefoot against a backdrop of parallel lines, with no visible jewelry or objects.
