Artist, American, born England, 1830 - 1904

The series depicts sequential photographs of a woman in different body positions, actions, and movements. She is unclothed and appears to be standing, walking, reaching for a jug, and pretending to drink from it. The background shows horizontal lines, possibly indicating a barrier or industrial structure, and there is a small table to the right. The lighting creates clear shadows on the floor as she moves.
