Plate Number 199. Curtesying, a fan in right hand

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of black and white images featuring a figure in motion. The grid displays different stages of the figure transitioning from an upright posture to a bent forward stance while holding a fan. The top row shows side views, and the bottom row shows rear views with variations in arm positions and garment folds. The images capture the study of movement, posture, and bodily nuances in a draped attire setting.
