-
Description
-
When Sempronio arrives at Celestina’s house, he berates her for not making progress quickly enough. She explains that she will receive greater rewards if she gives Calisto many small victories with extended gaps between them. She asks Sempronio to join her in this scam, offering him a share in the profits and her prostitute Elicia in exchange for his loyalty, to which Sempronio readily agrees. Celestina departs for Melibea’s house (to the left of the illustration), and in the meantime, Sempronio spends the night with Elicia at Celestina’s house.Celestina and Elicia are both wearing robes, while Celestina also has a veil and a rosary. Sempronio is depicted wearing a hat, and he is holding a sword in his right hand.[The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]
