Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a series of images depicting birds. The photograph shows multiple smaller frames arranged in a grid, each capturing different moments of birds near a water body. Some birds are walking, some are flapping their wings, and a few are standing still. The sequence gives a sense of motion and progression, like a film-strip effect, showcasing the birds' interactions in a natural setting by water with fencing in the background.
