"Ein Handschuh" (A Glove) is a notable work by the German symbolist artist Max Klinger, first published in 1881. This series of etchings, which falls under Opus VI in Klinger's oeuvre, is a seminal work in the artist's exploration of dream, fantasy, and psychoanalysis through visual art. Born in Leipzig in 1857, Klinger was a multifaceted artist whose work spanned various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking. "Ein Handschuh" showcases his innovative approach to etching, a technique that allowed him to delve deeply into the textures and contrasts of his imaginative subjects.

The series was inspired by an experience Klinger had at a musical concert, where he fantasized about a glove dropped by a woman. This seemingly mundane event spurred a profound exploration of themes such as desire, obsession, and the interplay between reality and fantasy. "Ein Handschuh" consists of a sequence of ten plates that narrate the journey of the glove, transforming it from a simple object of clothing into a symbol laden with erotic and mystical significance. The plates depict various scenarios that blend elements of reality with dream-like, often surreal imagery, showcasing Klinger's skill in creating complex, layered narratives within his artworks.

Klinger's work on "Ein Handschuh" is significant for its early exploration of symbolist themes, predating the widespread movement of Symbolism in European art. His use of the etching medium to explore these themes is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates his technical skill and innovative approach to printmaking. The series not only highlights Klinger's fascination with the subconscious and the mystical but also reflects broader cultural interests in psychoanalysis and the exploration of the human psyche that were emerging at the time.

"Ein Handschuh" has been analyzed and celebrated for its intricate detail, symbolic depth, and its pioneering role in the development of Symbolism and modern art. The work remains an important part of Klinger's legacy, illustrating his unique ability to blend the real with the surreal, and the conscious with the subconscious. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic innovation and its insightful commentary on human desire and imagination.
