Plate Number 383. Lifting a log on shoulder

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph depicting a sequence of movements involving the handling of a large log. The image is divided into smaller frames arranged systematically to show a series of actions. It shows lifting, carrying, and positioning the log against a backdrop with horizontal lines. The sequence emphasizes the observation of movement dynamics and could be reminiscent of motion studies for analyzing actions in detail.
