Plate Number 697. Antelope trotting

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a pronghorn antelope in motion captured through a sequence of frames. The image is in the style of Eadweard Muybridge. A series of twelve separate, sequential images in a grid show the antelope moving progressively. Each frame depicts a change in the position of the animal's legs and body, illustrating the fluid motion of its gait. The background is simple, likely a plain dark surface with vertical and horizontal lines.
