The Woman with the Glove, 1869
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait that showcases the artistic brilliance of Carolus-Duran. Painted in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures an impressive 228x164 cm and is housed in the prestigious Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France. The subject of this striking painting is Madame Carolus-Duran herself, formerly known as Pauline Croizette. Dressed elegantly in black attire, she exudes an air of mystery and sophistication. The woman's gloved hand becomes the focal point of the composition, drawing our attention to her delicate features and refined beauty. As we gaze at this enchanting artwork, we are transported back to a time when mourning attire was not only fashionable but also symbolic of loss and grief. The inclusion of a single flower adds a touch of melancholy to the scene, hinting at Madame Carolus-Duran's status as a widow. Carolus-Duran's skillful brushwork brings out every intricate detail - from the folds of her dress to the subtle play of light on her face. This portrait captures not only his technical mastery but also his ability to convey emotion through art. "The Woman with the Glove" remains timeless in its appeal and continues to captivate viewers even today. It serves as a testament to Carolus-Duran's talent as well as his deep connection with his subject matter.
