Skeleton in Motion: Sequential Walking Figures

A sequence of skeletons drawn side by side shows a figure walking from right to left, each frame slightly advanced in the stride. The bones of the spine, pelvis, arms and legs are rendered in dark and pale grey tones against a mottled, foxed paper ground with a single horizontal baseline below the feet.
