Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a horse and rider in motion, captured in a series of sequential frames. The frames depict the horse approaching and jumping over an obstacle. The grid pattern displays the motion from a side view at the top and a rear view at the bottom. The black and white format emphasizes the contours of the horse's body and the surrounding environment, which includes a high fence or barrier.
