The image of a female fortune teller reading tea leaves has, since the 19th century, been a subject of gallery art, popular commercial art, and cartooning.
Harry Roseland Fortune Teller Art
One prominent 19th and 20th century painter who produced many variations on this theme was Harry Roseland. If you like art, you may enjoy my essay on Roseland's art and the Cuban spirit known as La Madama -- it covers several types of African American divination in addition to cup reading.
Tea Leaf Omens and Signs in Art
Even tea leaf symbols have been the subject of artwork.

Tea company booklets are another fertile field of art related to tasseomancy.
And, finally, we have collected a gallery of photographs and art that idolize and objectify the female tea pluckers of Ceylon.
