Plate Number 83. Ascending an incline with a bucket of water in right hand 1887

Eadweard Muybridge's "Plate Number 83. Ascending an incline with a bucket of water in right hand" (1887) is a photographic study of human movement. The image captures a woman in a series of sequential poses as she walks up a wooden incline while carrying a bucket. This work is a prime example of Muybridge's pioneering work in motion studies, which revolutionized the understanding of animal and human movement. These studies, often referred to as "motion pictures," paved the way for the development of cinema and animation.
