Hudlath de wichelaar voorspelt een ramp 1852 - 1902

This etching, *Hudlath de wichelaar voorspelt een ramp*, depicts a dramatic scene between Hudlath, a fortune teller, and a woman in a long gown. Hudlath, a wizened man with a long beard and staff, gestures towards the woman, who stands in a defensive posture, as if bracing herself for bad news. Created by Karel Frederik Bombled between 1852 and 1902, this artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the power of belief in fortune-telling, which often has both positive and negative implications. This piece reflects a popular theme in 19th-century art that explores the relationship between human beings and the supernatural.
