The Fortune Teller is an oil painting of circa 1630 by the French artist Georges de La Tour.

Its authenticity has been questioned in the intervening years, notably by the English art historian Christopher Wright, but The Fortune Teller is generally accepted as La Tour's work.

As the young man is engrossed in the fortune-telling—an act which, if discovered, would have repercussions for both him and the Romani people—the leftmost woman is stealing the coin purse from his pocket, while her companion in profile has a hand ready to receive the loot.

A knowledgeable priest identified it as a La Tour work and informed the Louvre, which entered negotiations to buy the painting.

For a decade it remained with the dealer, until in 1960 the Metropolitan Museum of Art paid an undisclosed but "very high sum of money"[1] for The Fortune Teller.
