Plate Number 477. Child stooping, lifting a goblet and drinking

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of sixteen black and white frames showing a small figure interacting with a glass and liquid. The background features a fence or grid-like structure and a paved ground. The frames depict the figure's movements in progression, from approaching the glass to picking it up, squatting, and drinking from it. Each frame captures a moment of the figure's actions, creating a narrative through photographic motion study.
