The Fortune-Teller is a 1900 unspecified by Juho Rissanen, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
In this painting, a group of people are gathered around a woman who is reading someone's palm. The woman is dressed in a plaid dress and has her hair pulled back. She is holding the person's hand and appears to be concentrating on what she is seeing. The people around her are all looking at her with interest and anticipation. The woman's face is the focal point of the painting, and her expression is one of deep concentration. The people around her are all dressed in dark colors, which contrasts with the woman's lighter-colored dress. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to draw attention to the woman and the people around her. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Juho Rissanen, a Finnish artist known for his portraits and genre scenes.
