Plate Number 417. Toilet, sitting and putting on stockings

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of black and white images in a grid format showing a figure moving towards and sitting on a chair. The sequence captures each stage of the movement with the figure wearing a light garment. The setting is outdoors with a textured ground and a dark backdrop. Each frame captures a moment in time as part of a photographic study, potentially focusing on locomotion or movement dynamics. The style is reminiscent of early motion picture experiments.
