"The Fortune Teller" is a painting created by the French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour around 1625. This artwork is one of La Tour's early masterpieces, showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing human emotion and the subtleties of light and shadow, elements that would define his later works. The painting depicts a scene of everyday life, a genre La Tour is renowned for, where a young man is being deceived by a group of women under the guise of fortune-telling. The composition is rich in narrative, inviting viewers to delve into the story and the characters' intentions.

Set in a seemingly ordinary moment, the painting reveals a complex interaction centered around themes of deception, innocence, and vice. The young man, dressed in the fashion of the period, is the picture of naivety, unaware that he is being robbed as his fortune is told. The women, with their expressive faces and gestures, display a range of emotions from cunning to amusement, suggesting their complicity in the deceit. La Tour's use of light accentuates the drama, focusing the viewer's attention on the central figures and the unfolding action.

"The Fortune Teller" is celebrated for its realism, a characteristic of La Tour's work, achieved through meticulous attention to detail, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions of the figures. The painting also reflects the influence of Caravaggio, evident in its use of chiaroscuro and the portrayal of ordinary people in everyday situations. However, La Tour's interpretation is distinctly his own, marked by a quieter, more reflective approach to the narrative and the use of light.

This painting holds a significant place in Georges de La Tour's oeuvre and in the broader context of 17th-century French art. It not only exemplifies La Tour's mastery of painting and storytelling but also provides insight into the social and cultural dynamics of the period. "The Fortune Teller" is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal and artistic excellence.
