[Act II – Celestina (?) and Calisto (?)]

Description
-
The female figure on the left is shown wearing a robe, a veil, and a necklace. The artistic choice to include a female figure in an illustration for Act II seems odd, seeing as there are no female characters involved in this act. Perhaps it represents the end of the first act, where Calisto gives Celestina 100 crowns of gold as payment for her services. The identity of the male figure on the right is also uncertain, since Calisto, Sempronio, and Pármeno all feature in this act. Regardless, we can see that he is wearing a large hat and has a sword mounted on his belt. In his right hand he is holding a satchel. Both figures are placed outside.The entire image is identical to the one found on page 68 of the text. Both the left and right panels are near carbon-copies of panels used multiple times throughout the earlier 1529 Lyon edition. However, the lower attention to detail in these illustrations makes it clear that they are reproductions and not duplicates. The artist likely referred to a copy of the 1529 edition when creating these illustrations.
