[Act III - Sempronio and Elicia]

Description
-
While there is no written indication of who the figures represent, the act in which it is printed only includes the characters Sempronio, Elicia, and Celestina. Celestina is depicted elsewhere as far more aged, and thus we can infer that this illustration depicts Sempronio in conversation with Elicia. Sempronio is depicted as quite small in stature, likely implying his younger age. This could also be intended to represent his lower social standing as a servant to Calisto. He is wearing a hat and a cloak of some sort, whereas Elicia is wearing a robe and a veil.The right side of the image, including the figure and the vegetation near the bottom, is reproduced on the left side of the image found on page 221 of the text (although the figure is used to depict Lucrecia in that instance). The left side, including the figure and the hatched surface at the bottom, is reproduced on the left side of the image found on page 155 of the text (although the figure is used to depict Pármeno in that instance).
