Description: When Celestina (leftmost figure) arrives home with Pármeno (left-central figure), she tries to convince him to join her in scamming Calisto. She offers him a share of the profits and her prostitute Areusa (right-central figure), whom he loves, in exchange for his loyalty. He readily agrees, and she brings him to Areusa’s house, inducing them to spend the night together. She then returns home, where Elicia (rightmost figure) chastises her for the lateness of her arrival.[The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]
