"The Fortune Teller" is a painting by the French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour, believed to have been created around 1625. The work is renowned for its masterful depiction of a genre scene, which was a popular subject in European art during the 17th century. It showcases a young man of seemingly noble status having his fortune told by a gypsy woman, while he is surreptitiously being robbed by her accomplices. The painting is a prime example of La Tour's skill in using light and shadow to create dramatic effect, a technique reminiscent of Caravaggio's tenebrism, which La Tour adapted in his own distinct style.

The composition of "The Fortune Teller" is notable for its realistic portrayal of human interaction and the psychological subtlety with which it captures the moment of deception. La Tour's attention to detail is evident in the intricate costumes and the varied expressions of the figures, which range from innocence to sly complicity. The painting's narrative quality and the moral lesson it implies about the dangers of naiveté and the deceitful nature of appearances have been subjects of interest among art historians.

"The Fortune Teller" is part of La Tour's early oeuvre, before he began to focus on religious subjects and nocturnal scenes illuminated by candlelight, for which he is best known. The painting's provenance includes a period of obscurity until it was rediscovered in the early 20th century, leading to a reevaluation of La Tour's contribution to French Baroque art. Today, "The Fortune Teller" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
