Photogravure, printed in 1928 on matte paper 23.4 x 17.4 cm, in very good condition. Signed in the negative at lower left, typographical stamp "Kodak Magazine Supplement, 'Bewegungs Studie' by Rudolf Koppitz from The Royal Photographic Society Collection" on the reverse. LITERATURE Monika Faber (ed.), Rudolf Koppitz 1884-1936, Vienna 1995, cover; Monika Faber (ed.), Rudolf Koppitz. Photogenie, Vienna 2013, p. 133.

The "Movement Study" is Koppitz's most famous work, which he printed in various techniques and was sold as far away as America. Members of the dance troupe of Claudia Issachenko served as models. One dancer poses as a nude in a strong backbend in front of three dark-robed colleagues. Their heads, positioned close to each other, form a flat arch that bounds the figure arrangement at the top; below, their pairs of feet, aligned in the same direction, form a horizontal row. Koppitz perfected this carefully structured composition with a closed outline through negative retouching.

凹版影像，印制在哑光纸上，尺寸为23.4 x 17.4厘米，状况非常好。左下角负片签名，背面有印刷体印章“柯达杂志增刊，鲁道夫·科皮茨的《运动研究》，来自皇家摄影学会收藏”。 文献：Monika Faber（编），《鲁道夫·科皮茨 1884-1936》，维也纳1995年，封面；Monika Faber（编），《鲁道夫·科皮茨。摄影艺术》，维也纳2013年，第133页。《运动研究》是科皮茨最著名的作品，他用各种技术印制，并远销至美国。克劳迪娅·伊萨琴科舞团的成员担任模特。一名舞者在三位身穿黑袍的同事前面裸身摆出强烈的后弯姿势。她们的头部紧密相邻，形成一个平坦的弧形，界定了上方的人物排列；下方，她们的双脚排列在同一方向，形成一条水平线。科皮茨通过负片修饰完善了这一精心构建的构图，使其轮廓闭合。
