Fortune teller
Clothing
loosely based on Caravaggio's painting
Fortune teller (1595-98) deposited in Louvre. The woman is
dressed in linen shirt and black skirt widely gathered at waist.
The upper layer is a cover typical for Gypsy woman's clothing.
(The word " gypsy" is used in period sense without any
pejorative meaning). The rectangular cover is possible to use as
a blanket. Woman is barefoot.
