This is a photograph of a horse in motion captured in a sequential series. The image is divided into two rows displaying a series of small photographs that capture the gait of a horse as it moves. The top row shows lateral views of the horse as it progresses through different stages of a gallop or trot, while the bottom row captures rear perspectives at similar intervals. The background is plain, emphasizing the horse’s movement and anatomy.
