Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of black and white photographs showing a sequence of combative actions between two individuals. The frames depict the progression of physical interaction, including moments of throwing or grappling. The backdrop indicates an indoor setting, possibly a studio for motion studies. The grid layout and style suggest a historical and early photographic study of human motion.
