Plate Number 470. Child running after a man

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing a grid of multiple frames capturing the sequential movement of a clothed and unclothed figure walking side by side against a grid-lined backdrop. The images depict a study in human and animal motion, with various postures and limb positions. The background features grid lines, potentially for scientific purposes, creating an animated effect when viewed together.
