Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person performing a handstand in a series of twelve frames. The individual transitions from standing to a handstand and back, with each frame capturing a different phase of the movement. The person has a muscular build, short hair, and is not wearing clothing or holding any objects. The background varies between a tiled wall with a histogram grid and an outdoor setting with a fence and trees.
