Eadweard Muybridge's "Plate Number 252. Kneeling on right knee and scrubbing the floor" (1887) is a photographic study of human motion, a hallmark of his pioneering work in the field. This sequence, composed of twelve individual images, captures the repetitive actions of a nude woman scrubbing a floor. The image's series of sequential frames creates the illusion of movement, illustrating Muybridge's groundbreaking contributions to the development of motion pictures and the understanding of human anatomy in motion.
