Title: [Act VII – Pármeno and (?)]
Period: 1500-1550;
Geographic: France; Paris (France); Kingdom of France
Description: The left panel depicts a male figure. This must be Pármeno, since he is the only male character included in the act. The figure, dressed in regal attire, is wearing a hat and has a sword mounted on his belt. In the right panel we see a female figure, either Celestina, Areusa, or Elicia, who is wearing a robe and a veil. She is holding a book of some sort between her body and her right arm.The left panel is a near carbon-copy of a panel found multiple times throughout the earlier 1529 Lyon edition. However, the lower attention to detail in this panel makes it clear that it is a reproduction and not a duplicate. The artist likely referred to a copy of the 1529 edition when creating this panel.
