National Gallery of Art

This is a series of images capturing a dog in motion. The sequence shows the dog walking and running from side and back views. Each frame displays a different position of the dog's legs, highlighting its body movement. The background features a gridded wall possibly used as a reference point for motion analysis. The photographic style indicates a scientific approach similar to early motion photography experiments.
