Plate Number 728. Lioness walking

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of images showing a lioness in motion across a neutral background. The grid features three rows and four columns capturing consecutive moments of the lioness's gait. Each frame showcases subtle changes in the lioness's posture as she walks, focusing on the movement of her legs and tail. The monochrome images provide a scientific and artistic evaluation of animal locomotion.
