"The Woman with the Glove" is an 1869 painting by the French artist Charles Auguste Emile Duran, commonly known as Carolus-Duran. This work is one of the artist's most celebrated portraits and exemplifies his sophisticated approach to portraiture that blends academic tradition with the more expressive and loose brushwork characteristic of the emerging Impressionist movement. The painting is notable for its realistic depiction and psychological depth, capturing the elegance and confident demeanor of the sitter.

The subject of the painting is a fashionably dressed woman, believed to be the artist's wife, Pauline Croizette, a frequent model for his works. She is portrayed wearing a sumptuous black dress with a low neckline, adorned with a white camellia, a fashionable accessory of the time. The woman's right hand is elegantly gloved, while her left hand is bare, drawing attention to the contrast in texture and the intimate act of removing a glove. Her direct gaze and the subtle play of light on her face and attire create a sense of immediacy and connection with the viewer.

"The Woman with the Glove" is celebrated for its technical mastery and the way it captures the nuances of contemporary Parisian fashion and society. The painting was well-received at the Paris Salon, where Duran regularly exhibited, and it contributed to his reputation as a leading portraitist of his era. Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and remains an important example of 19th-century French portraiture, reflecting the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the Second French Empire.

Carolus-Duran's influence extended beyond his own works; he was a respected teacher and mentor to many young artists, including the American painter John Singer Sargent, who would also become renowned for his portrait work. "The Woman with the Glove" stands as a testament to Carolus-Duran's skill in capturing the elegance and spirit of his time, and it continues to be appreciated for its artistry and historical significance.
