Plate Number 529. Various poses

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image is a series of photographs capturing a nude male figure from various angles and in different positions. Each frame provides a full-body view of the man, who is standing and shifting into various poses. His facial features are generally stoic and neutral, with short, dark hair that appears neat and combed. The man is entirely nude, barefoot on the ground. The series shows him with arms at different positions – on his hips, extended to the sides, or raised above his head. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held in the images. The background consists of a grid pattern and a plain floor.
