Plate Number 561. Hydrocephalus, walking

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a series of black and white sequential motion studies. The images display a nude figure in motion, with one row showing side views and the other row showing front-facing perspectives. Each frame captures a slightly different posture, freezing moments of the figure walking or marching. The background features a simple, shadowy backdrop, hinting at an indoor setting. The format resembles early motion photography studies like those by Eadweard Muybridge.
