[Act XII – Calisto and Lucresse (Lucrecia)]
-
Description
-
The left panel depicts Calisto dressed in regal attire. He has a falcon perched on his left arm, a obvious representation of his interest in falconry. He is also wearing a large chain, which is presumably the gold chain he gives to Celestina as payment for her services. In the right panel we see Melibea’s servant Lucrecia, who is wearing a veil and a robe. She is also holding flowers in her right hand. Even as a servant her robe appears somewhat ornate, perhaps intended to demonstrate the wealth of Melibea’s family. The entire image is nearly identical to the one found on page 216 (where the left panel is labeled ‘Pleberio’ and the right panel is labeled ‘Alisa’). The left panel is identical to the one found on page 88, and is nearly identical to those found on pages 135 (where it has a decorative panel and is labeled ‘Sepronio’ [likely a printing/engraving error]) and 244 (where it has a decorative panel and is labeled ‘Pleberio’). The right panel is nearly identical to the one found on page 61 (where it is labeled ‘Lucrecia’).
