Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of a sequence of photographs arranged in two rows. A woman is shown in various stages of movement, with her full body depicted in each frame. The woman is generally upright, captured in different dynamic poses, suggesting motion. Her facial features appear soft and her hair is neat and pulled back. She wears a long, flowing, light-colored dress. The background features a gridded or lined surface, possibly a wall or screen, and the floor is flat and uniform. There are no visible jewelry or objects in the woman's hands.
