A
full-length sculptural image of a young female fortune teller in a headpiece
and oriental attire, looking at her raised hand in which she holds cards fanned
out. The girl's image is complemented by jewelry: a large pendant on her chest,
bracelets on her arms and legs. The figure is fixed on a base made in the form
of a rectangular platform with an attached step, covered with cloth. On the base, to the right of the fortune teller,
stands a short pole topped with a disk; to the left is an octagonal Oriental
table with playing cards spread across it.
