Plate Number 336. Boxing, open hand

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a twelve-frame series showing two figures engaged in boxing poses or movements. The figures are depicted in various stances and interactions, with one throwing punches while the other evades or blocks. The background features a grid, possibly for measuring movement or position. The figures are captured in high contrast black and white, giving the impression of scientific study or an exploration of bodily motion.
