"The Fortune Teller" (French: "La Devineresse") is an 1869 painting by the French artist Frédéric Bazille, a prominent figure in the early Impressionist movement. Bazille, who was known for his vibrant use of color and keen interest in capturing contemporary life, created this work during a period of significant artistic experimentation and collaboration with other notable artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Édouard Manet.

The painting depicts a scene of a fortune teller reading the palm of a young woman, surrounded by a group of onlookers. The setting is intimate, with the figures closely gathered, creating a sense of immediacy and engagement. Bazille's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the details of the characters' expressions and attire, imbues the scene with a sense of realism and psychological depth. The work reflects Bazille's interest in genre scenes and his ability to convey narrative through his compositions.

"The Fortune Teller" is notable for its composition and the way Bazille captures the interaction between the figures. The central focus on the act of palm reading, a popular practice in the 19th century, highlights themes of curiosity and the human desire to know the future. The painting also showcases Bazille's skill in rendering textures and fabrics, as seen in the detailed depiction of the clothing worn by the figures.

Bazille's career was tragically cut short when he died at the age of 28 during the Franco-Prussian War. Despite his brief career, his contributions to the development of Impressionism were significant, and "The Fortune Teller" remains an important example of his work. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is a testament to Bazille's talent and his role in the evolution of modern art.
