[Act X - Lucrecia and Celestina]

Description
-
This image depicts Celestina in conversation with Lucrecia. Although Melibea is included in this act, we know that the figure to the left is likely Lucrecia, since Melibea was previously depicted in regal attire. Melibea’s mother Alisa, another older woman, is included in this act as well, but because she only talks with Melibea, we can infer that the figure to the right is Celestina. Celestina is shown holding a jug of some sort. Based on her character in the book, we are likely meant to interpret this vessel as containing wine. Both figures are shown wearing a robe and a veil.The right side of the illustration, including the figure and the vegetation at the bottom, is a reproduction of the right side of the illustration found on page 155 of the text. The left side, including the figure and the vegetation at the bottom, is a reproduction of the right side of the illustration found on page 69 of the text (although the figure is used to depict Elicia in that instance).
