“Nude Girl with Gloves” is an oil on canvas painting created by Otto Dix in 1932. The artwork belongs to the Verism art movement and falls within the genre of nude painting (nu). Currently held in a private collection, this piece exemplifies Dix’s characteristic attention to realistic detail and psychological depth.
The artwork depicts a young nude girl sitting against a dark, draped backdrop. She wears long, elegant black gloves that extend up her arms, creating a striking contrast with her bare skin. Her short, wavy brown hair frames a serene and slightly enigmatic expression. The composition, lighting, and fine details accentuate the emotive and somewhat unsettling veristic style characteristic of Dix’s work. Through the juxtaposition of the girl’s innocence with the mature and provocative nature of the gloves, the painting invites contemplation on themes of vulnerability, sexuality, and societal norms.
