EDITORS COMMENTS
Andries Stock's engraving, "Fortune-Teller," dating back to approximately 1608, captures the intriguing and mysterious world of fortune-telling in the Low Countries during the 17th century. The image features an elderly woman, dressed in traditional attire, seated under a tree with an air of wisdom and authority. She is surrounded by a group of young women, all eagerly presenting their hands for a reading. The fortune-teller examines the palms of her clients with great concentration, using her knowledge of palmistry to reveal their futures. The engraving, which is on cream laid paper, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the human form and the natural world. The tree under which the fortune-teller sits is depicted with great detail, its branches reaching out to form a canopy over the group. The surrounding landscape is also richly detailed, with various plants and trees adding to the sense of tranquility and serenity. This print, created by the Dutch artist Andries Stock, offers a glimpse into the past and the belief in the power of divination. It is a testament to the enduring fascination with the unknown and the human desire to seek answers to life's mysteries. The "Fortune-Teller" is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a window into the heritage and culture of the past.
