Description: The lovers Calisto and Melibea embrace in her garden. There is another woman in the background and to the left, but it is difficult to identify who she is (likely Melibea's servant Lucrecia). Shortly after their embrace, Calisto hears Sosia yelling on the other side of the wall and ascends the ladder to see the cause of the commotion. As he descends the ladder on the other side of the wall, he falls and dies.
