Period: 1500-1550;
Geographic: France; Lyon (France); Kingdom of France
Description: This image depicts Celestina standing outside. She is wearing a robe and veil, with what appears to be a rosary hanging from her waist. Her rosary and veil are coloured red; based on the imprecise quality of the colouring, this may be something that was done by hand (perhaps at a later date). The illustration itself is surrounded on three sides by a decorative border, with each side featuring a different design.The entire panel is nearly identical to the panels found at the end of the book and on pages 51, 82, 105, 150, 162, and 221 (where no red is present).
