National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing two rows of black and white frames illustrating progressive stages of a figure's motion. The top row shows the side view of a figure taking steps from left to right, while the bottom row shows the back view of the same figure moving in small steps across the frame. Each frame is numbered to track the sequential flow of movement.
