Description
-
When Sempronio arrives and chastises Celestina for her slackness, Celestina explains that delays will allow her to acquire greater rewards from Calisto. She asks Sempronio to join her in scamming Calisto, and offers him a share of her earnings, as well as her prostitute Elicia, in exchange for his loyalty. Sempronio readily accepts the proposal. Celestina departs for Melibea’s house, while Sempronio remains in Celestina’s house to spend intimate time with Elicia. Meanwhile, Pármeno continues with his attempts to dissuade Calisto from procuring the services of Celestina, but he finds no success. To the left of the image, Elicia can be seen hiding behind a large, indistinct object. She is depicted wearing a robe and a veil, as is Celestina (central figure). Sempronio is shown walking into Celestina’s house, his hat raised in his right hand and a sword mounted on his belt. The entire image is identical to the one found on page 237 of the text.
