The street vendor and the fortune teller, late 17th fan leaf
The street vendor and the fortune teller, late 17th fan leaf
A rectangular fan leaf made of painted leather, mounted on a wooden panel depicting a mountain landscape, possibly in Italy.
A fortune-teller reads the lines in a walker’s hand; a woman breastfeeds her child; a pair of shepherds exchange sweet nothings; and a merchant (perhaps the seller of Rosolio from Turin, a famous brandy dating back to 1712) makes his way along the path.
Good overall condition
D: 19.5 x 41 cm (with frame max 25 x 43 cm)
