Description

After Lucrecia (left-central figure) tells Celestina (right-central figure) that Melibea (rightmost figure) has requested her presence, they both go to Melibea’s house. There, Melibea informs Celestina about the pain in her heart and asks what the cause might be. [The identity of the leftmost figure is uncertain, since Alisa does not enter the scene until after the next illustration. This may be intended to represent another of Melibea’s servants.]
