An oil painting depicting a gypsy fortune teller in a candlelit tent, at the center of the image, seated at a low table covered with a patterned red tablecloth and tarot cards laid out. She has dark hair, a red headscarf, a dark blue and red patterned dress, and multiple gold necklaces and earrings. Her hands are on the cards, and her eyes are looking up and to her right. A man with disheveled dark hair and a dirty face, wearing a dark work shirt, leans over the table to her left, looking at her intently. To the fortune teller's right, a priest in a dark suit with a white clerical collar stands behind her, a concern on his face as he looks down at her. He holds a dark wooden stick in his hands. To the priest's right and in front of him, an old man with a long white beard and a black top hat stands proudly holding a cane with a golden handle. He wears a dark waistcoat with a golden chain and an ornate red and gold-patterned jacket with medals and embellishments. Two glowing candles illuminate the fortune teller's table. In the background, hanging lanterns cast a warm glow on the dark tent and the silhouettes of other figures.
Within the traveling carnival, Nancy sits at a small tarot table as Brother Justin intervenes. He has come to interrup, not to listen. Ben close to him react and the boss signs him: He is not welcome. Inspired by 1930s Dust Bowl, Americana, Carnival. By Isobel Blundell
