"Ein Handschuh" (A Glove) is a series of ten etchings by the German symbolist artist Max Klinger, created between 1881 and 1898. This work is considered one of Klinger's most significant contributions to the graphic arts and a seminal piece in the Symbolist movement. The series was inspired by an event at a musical recital in Leipzig, where Klinger became fascinated by a glove dropped by a young woman. This seemingly mundane incident led to a profound exploration of themes such as desire, eroticism, and the subconscious.

The etchings follow a non-linear narrative that delves into the artist's fantasies and dreams, with the glove serving as a central motif that undergoes various transformations and symbolic interpretations. The sequence of images takes the viewer on a journey through different scenarios and dimensions, blending reality with imagination, and often incorporating mythological and allegorical elements.

"Ein Handschuh" is divided into two sections: the first six etchings, known as "Vorfrühling" (Early Spring), depict the glove in realistic settings, while the latter four, under the title "Sommer" (Summer), venture into more surreal and fantastical realms. Klinger's masterful technique and intricate detail in these works not only demonstrate his skill as an etcher but also his ability to convey complex psychological and emotional states through visual art.

The series is notable for its innovative approach to storytelling through images and its influence on later artists, particularly within the Symbolist and Expressionist movements. "Ein Handschuh" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its capacity to evoke a wide range of interpretations, making it a subject of interest for art historians and scholars of late 19th-century European art.
