Plate Number 422. Toilet, putting on shoes and rising from chair

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a progression of black and white photographs of a woman removing a shoe. The photos capture her seated in a chair, standing up, and walking away. She is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a patterned skirt, and her hair is tied up. The setting is an empty room with grid and striped backgrounds, along with a wooden floor, with no visible jewelry.
