EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print from the 19th century, we are transported to a scene where young girls eagerly await their fortunes to be read by an old woman. The European School artist skillfully captures the essence of youth and curiosity in the faces of these children as they sit attentively before the wise elder. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail, showcasing elements such as a gypsy cape, traditional attire, and a distinctive hat worn by the old woman. A cat gracefully perches nearby, adding an air of mystique to the scene. An owl sits perched on a branch above them, symbolizing wisdom and foresight. The colors used in this lithograph are vibrant and lively, bringing life to every aspect of the image. From the clothing adorned by each character to the lush background filled with wildlife animals, there is an undeniable sense of energy that radiates from this artwork. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into cultural traditions surrounding fortune-telling during that era. It reminds us of our fascination with divination practices throughout history and how they continue to captivate our imaginations today. Overall, this enchanting piece invites us into its world for just a moment - allowing us to witness these young girls' anticipation while reminding us of our own longing for guidance in uncertain times.
