Plate Number 503. Miscellaneous, stooping, etc.

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing a figure in a flowing dress engaged in a repetitive action with a stick or rod. The image consists of sixteen frames arranged in two rows of eight. The subject is in front of a gridded backdrop. The series captures the figure in different stages of movement. The grayscale tones and historical attire suggest an older style of photography associated with studies of human motion.
