"Fortune Teller" is a 1979 oil painting by American artist Frank Mason (1921-2009). The painting depicts a young woman holding a lit candle in a dark setting, her intense gaze directed towards the viewer. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and shadow, enhances the mysterious atmosphere and emphasizes the subject's enigmatic expression. The work is characterized by Mason's signature style, known for its realistic portrayal of figures and dramatic lighting. This painting, with its suggestive title and evocative imagery, invites viewers to contemplate the themes of fate, fortune, and the unknown.
