Plate Number 695. Elk galloping

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph showing a sequence of an elk in motion. The sequence captures the elk as it moves across a set path. The top row features side-on views of the elk's body in different stages of motion, while the bottom row shows rear views of the elk, displaying its antlers and body from behind. The frames are organized systematically, dividing the action into distinct phases to analyze movement.
