Plate Number 392. Dragging a garden roller

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a series of frames capturing a figure in motion with a pole. The full-description: The image consists of a grid layout featuring a sequence of frames depicting the figure moving with a pole. The top row shows a side view with the figure starting in a forward-leaning stance and gradually progressing forward. Each frame captures a slightly different position. The bottom row provides a rear view of the movement sequence, starting with a nearly static posture and transitioning through subtle shifts in motion. The background contains a grid for reference. The use of black and white and the emphasis on different angles provide a detailed analysis of the motion.
