"Woman leaning against a chair on which another woman is smoking a cigarette"[1] is the informal title to a photo from the 'locomotion' series by Eadweard Muybridge. I've previously researched the prurient interests of Muybridge's pre-cinema cinema.
Linda Williams mentions this particular photo on page 40 of her Hard Core: Power, Pleasure, saying that "in this last instance Muybridge has abandoned movement altogether for the highly charged emotional tone of what could only be called longing. Women's bodies are quite simply fetishized in these motion studies".
