About the piece

Painted in 1828 by Belgian artist Adèle Kindt, this genre scene captures the intimate and mysterious atmosphere of a fortune-telling session. The contrast between the youthful curiosity of the young woman and the weathered intensity of the elder creates a compelling narrative, further enriched by the presence of a domestic cat and fine textile details.
