Plate Number 656. "Bob" walking, free, ossification of cartilage, right front foot

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a horse in motion depicted in a sequence of frames. The image consists of multiple black and white frames arranged in a grid pattern, capturing a horse walking across a marked path. Each frame shows the different stages of the horse's gait. The top two rows display side profile views, while the bottom row presents the horse moving towards the camera. The sequential arrangement of the frames is likely part of a study on motion.
