"A Young Woman Consulting a Fortune Teller" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Gerrit van Honthorst, who was a prominent figure in the Utrecht Caravaggism movement during the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique influenced by the Italian painter Caravaggio, whom Honthorst admired and emulated. The work depicts an intimate scene in which a young woman is having her fortune told by an older woman, possibly a gypsy, a common subject in genre paintings of the time that often carried moralistic overtones about the folly of such superstitions.

In this composition, Honthorst showcases his mastery of chiaroscuro, with the figures emerging from the dark background into the light, which focuses on their faces and hands—the centers of expression and action. The young woman's face is illuminated, capturing her expression of naive curiosity and anticipation, while the fortune teller's face is partially in shadow, adding to her mysterious and possibly deceitful character. The interplay of light and dark not only enhances the drama of the scene but also serves to draw the viewer's attention to the details of the interaction, such as the coins on the table and the subtle gestures of the characters.

The painting is a fine example of Honthorst's genre works, which often included scenes of everyday life infused with a sense of narrative and emotional depth. "A Young Woman Consulting a Fortune Teller" not only reflects the artistic trends of the period but also offers insight into the cultural and social interests of the 17th-century Dutch society. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of the themes and styles that characterized the Northern European Baroque period.
