Artistic appreciation of female fortune tellers

Latour's painting "The Fortune Teller" is different from the later night paintings that specifically show the light of night candles, but it still has a strong decorative effect. It was a European custom to tell fortune with cards at that time, and the seriousness of the female fortune teller and the piety of several fortune tellers were vividly demonstrated. With black as the background, the complex environment is omitted, which makes the picture look concise and the relationship and fatalism between characters more vivid. Chen Shuaifo thinks fortune tellers have too many fakes.
