Harold Edgerton

Jumping Girl
1940

A young girl in a peach-colored dress with a ribbon in her hair appears to be floating in mid-air against a white door, with one foot playfully kicked up behind her. She holds a jump rope, suggesting she is skipping, and wears grey socks with black shoes. Her expression is one of focused enjoyment.
