Plate Number 267. Turning and changing position while on the ground

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of images showing a figure in flowing clothing performing movements on a grid-marked platform. The images are displayed in a grid pattern, capturing the progression of the figure's poses. The setting includes a wooden platform and a dark, plain backdrop highlighting the motion of the fabric as the figure moves. The grid lines and numbered frames suggest a scientific or study-oriented approach to capturing motion.
