Plate Number 218. Stooping and lifting a full demijohn to shoulder

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two sequences of photographs of a nude male figure lifting and carrying a woven basket. The man is depicted in profile view in the first row and facing the camera directly in the second row. He has short, thinning hair on the top of his head and more hair on the sides. The background consists of grid-like lines in an indoor setting, possibly a studio. The focus is on the man's movements with the basket, with no visible jewelry.
