Plate Number 401. Emptying a bucket of water

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of black and white photographs showing an individual interacting with a bucket outdoors. Each frame captures a different moment in the motion. The background varies between a grid-like pattern and outdoor structures. The images focus on the physical dynamics of using a bucket, including the flow of water in the middle row. The set provides insight into movement and photography.
