Crystal Ball in a Medieval Oil Painting

An ornate oil painting set in a medieval chamber. A cloaked seer sits at a heavy wooden table, gazing into a polished crystal ball that glows with inner light. The ball casts blue and amber hues on a weathered face, while flickering candlelight nourishes thick brushstrokes and rich impasto in warm earth tones. Surroundings include stone arches, a velvet drape, a gilded frame around the ball, and intricate tapestries on the walls. The figure wears layered robes with fur trim and a silver pendant. The scene uses dramatic chiaroscuro and meticulous detail reminiscent of Early Northern Renaissance or Flemish masters. Subtle magical wisps ripple from the crystal, reflections dance on the table, and a solemn, timeless atmosphere pervades the room, as if predicting the future in a medieval prophecy.
