[Act VII - Pármeno and Celestina]
-
Description
-
Because Pármeno is the only male character included in the seventh act, and because of the wrinkled appearance of the female figure, we can infer that this image depicts Pármeno and Celestina in conversation. Pármeno is depicted as quite small in stature, likely implying his younger age. This could also be intended to represent his lower social standing as a servant to Calisto. Celestina is holding a jug of some sort. From her depiction in the story, we are likely meant to interpret this vessel as containing wine. She is wearing a veil and a robe, while Pármeno is wearing a hat and a cloak of some sort.The right side of the image, including the figure and the vegetation behind her, is reproduced on the right side of the image found on page 221 of the text. The left side, including the figure and the hatched surface behind him, is a reproduction of the left side of the image found on page 69 of the text (although the figure is used to depict Sempronio in that instance).
