Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a dog captured in motion in multiple frames. It shows a sequence of small photographs arranged in a grid, depicting the dog in various stages of movement. Each row captures the dog's progression against a lined background and in an outdoor setting with drapery present. The series shows the dog's limbs and body shifting positions, illustrating the dynamics of canine motion. The photography resembles the sequential studies conducted in the late 19th century, famously pioneered by Eadweard Muybridge, who captured animals and humans in motion.
