Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a horse in motion. The image contains a sequence of twelve frames arranged in two rows, each capturing a different moment of the horse's trot as it moves across a consistent horizontal plane. The focus is on the dynamic movements of the horse. The background is neutral. Each frame is numbered. The series captures the fluidity and grace of the horse's movement through consecutive frames.
