La adivina

probably 1630s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 622
Mientras una vieja gitana lee la mano de un inocente joven, sus cómplices le vacían los bolsillos. El tema fue muy del gusto de los pintores caravaggistas en la Europa del siglo XVII, y tal vez La Tour concibió esta versión en términos teatrales como una alusión a la parábola del hijo pródigo. La inscripción incluye el nombre de la ciudad de Lunéville, en Lorena, donde vivía La Tour.
