Plate Number 198. Curtesying

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing sequential images capturing the movement of a subject in a long dress. The grid composition consists of two rows with multiple frames, each showing the subject in different positions, indicating motion. The subject wears a detailed Victorian-style outfit with floral patterns and layered garments. The background appears to be a neutral exterior setting with a gridded background that highlights the motion path.
