This card speaks to the layered complexity of becoming, an apt offering for those in transition, confronting memory, or living through the quiet undoing of old roles. This image speaks to occasions like Mother's Day or Women's Day, honoring the beauty of care, resilience, and presence in motion. Elegantly, a woman lifts her parasol, an everyday act rendered timeless through Muybridge's lens, celebrating the grace found in strength.

Currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, gifted by the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, 1938.
