EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 244. Sitting Crossing Legs, Filling Goblet from Pitcher" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences.

The composition exudes grace and poise, with the subject's nudity adding an element of vulnerability and rawness to the scene. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident in every detail of this image. The stop-motion technique used here allows us to study movement and capture it frame by frame.

This intimate moment invites viewers to contemplate themes such as femininity, sensuality, and domesticity.

As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how far photography has come while appreciating its timeless ability to
