Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a grid layout photograph showcasing multiple sequential shots of a horse in motion. The frames capture different positions of the horse's legs, head, and tail, illustrating its gait. The images are monochrome, emphasizing the horse's form, muscles, and harness details against a plain background. This style of capturing motion is reminiscent of Eadweard Muybridge's late 19th-century photographic studies.
