A fortune-teller reading the palm of a soldier
An elderly man in a red hood and round spectacles grips the hand of a soldier wearing a white headcloth and dark armor, their heads close together against a shadowed background. The oil painting relies on strong chiaroscuro, with warm highlights falling on the faces, arms and white linen.
