Plate Number 328. Rowing

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a sequence showing a figure engaged in a rowing motion. The image is composed of multiple black and white frames arranged in a grid pattern, each capturing a different phase of the figure's movement. The top row shows a side view, the middle row displays a back view, and the bottom row presents a frontal view. The setting is stark with a gridded background, which suggests a scientific or experimental study of motion, emphasizing the anatomical and mechanical aspects of the subject's body in motion.
