Plate Number 465. Child bringing a bouquet to a woman

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a series of sequential actions involving the exchange of an object between two figures. The photograph consists of a grid of twelve images that capture a stop-motion sequence. The images depict two figures interacting, one seated on the ground draped in a white cloth, with the other standing. The background features a lined grid. The figures appear to be engaging in the passing and receiving of an object. The sequence captures the fluid motion and the changes in posture and expression as they interact.
