This pen and ink drawing by the English artist William Hogarth depicts a scene of a woman receiving a fortune telling from an astrologer. The drawing is notable for its attention to detail and its use of humor. The astrologer's cluttered study is filled with scientific instruments, including a telescope, a globe, and a sextant. These objects, together with the astrological charts on the wall, emphasize the scientific nature of the astrologer's work. This drawing, like many of Hogarth's works, offers social commentary and satirical humor. This drawing is housed in the Städel Museum.
