Plate Number 231. Stooping to arrange train and turning

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sequence of black and white photographs of a woman in a long gown. She is captured in different poses, including walking and bending slightly. The woman's face is not clearly visible due to the small size of each frame, and her hair is styled up. The gown has a high neckline, puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice, and a long skirt with a train. The background features grooved panels, suggesting a studio setting with a patterned surface resembling tiles. There are no visible accessories or objects in the frames.
