"A Fortune Teller of Brittany" is a painting by the 19th-century American artist Robert Wylie, who spent much of his career in France, particularly in Brittany. The painting is notable for its depiction of a local Breton woman, presumably engaged in the act of fortune-telling, a subject that reflects the artist's interest in the customs and traditions of the Breton people. Wylie's work is characterized by its detailed realism and the use of rich, evocative colors that convey the mood and atmosphere of the scene.

The painting captures the essence of rural life in Brittany during the 19th century, a time when the region was known for its distinct cultural identity within France. Wylie's fascination with the Bretons stemmed from his broader interest in peasant life and the portrayal of the working class, which was a common theme among artists of the period. "A Fortune Teller of Brittany" is considered an important work in Wylie's oeuvre as it exemplifies his skill in rendering the textures of clothing, the subtleties of facial expression, and the interplay of light and shadow.

As an American artist in France, Wylie was part of the Pont-Aven School, a group of artists who were drawn to the picturesque landscapes and the traditional way of life in Brittany. The school included a number of influential artists, such as Paul Gauguin, who would later break away from naturalism towards Synthetism. Wylie, however, remained committed to a more realist approach in his depiction of the Breton people and their customs.

"A Fortune Teller of Brittany" not only serves as a visual record of regional practices but also reflects the broader 19th-century European interest in folklore and the rural poor as subjects worthy of artistic representation. The painting is a testament to Wylie's technical prowess and his empathetic, yet unsentimental, portrayal of the lives of ordinary people.
