Plate Number 565. "Dusel" hauling

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a horse in motion. The image consists of a sequential series of twelve frames arranged in three rows, capturing a horse walking from left to right. The photographs display the horse, fitted with a harness, in various stages of its stride. The background is a grid-like pattern. Each frame captures the changes in the position of the horse's legs and body, illustrating its motion. The use of monochrome enhances the focus on the subject and its stance through the series.
