Description
-
Lucrecia (right-central figure) brings Celestina (left-central figure) to Melibea’s house. There, Melibea (leftmost figure) tells Celestina of her love for Calisto. Alisa (rightmost figure) overhears Melibea and Celestina talking. Celestina walks past Alisa on her way out, and Alisa asks her the purpose of the visit. Celestina claims that she was short on yarn the day before and felt she had to return to make up the deficit. Alisa then asks Melibea the same question, and Melibea answers that Celestina sold her sublimated mercury. Suspicious of the difference in answers, she warns Melibea against dealing with Celestina again, citing her immoral and dishonest ways, as well as the ill that befalls those who entertain her presence.[The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]
