Description
-
Soon after Celestina visits Calisto’s house, Calisto becomes impatient and orders Sempronio to pay her a visit and hasten her along in accomplishing her task. He does not want to leave Calisto alone, so Calisto asks Pármeno to keep him company in order to alleviate Sempronio’s concerns. Pármeno once again tries to dissuade Calisto from trusting Celestina, but he is again unsuccessful. In the top left corner there is a veiled woman perched in a window observing the other figures. Because the rightmost figure appears to be quite sad, it is likely meant to represent Calisto. Because Sempronio is consistently depicted as a bearded figure, we can infer that he is likely represented by the central figure. The leftmost figure would therefore represent Pármeno. This figure is shown looking at Celestina while also reaching out toward Calisto and Sempronio, perhaps intended to represent his desire that Calisto should avoid her. All three figures are shown wearing hats and have swords mounted on their belts.The entire image is identical to those found on pages 93 and 171 of the text.
