[Act XIII] Calisto.
-
Description
-
While Calisto lies in bed (to the left of the image), his servant Tristan spies Sosia, another of his servants, walking toward the house in tears (to the right of the image). Demanding the cause of his sorrow, Sosia explains that Sempronio and Pármeno have been executed in the street by the justice’s (the alguacil’s) men.To the left, we can see Calisto sleeping. His bed appears luxurious, with drapery hanging from above. A chair is situated in the foreground. To the right we see Tristan and Sosia. Sosia is presumably the rightmost figure, since he is just arriving at the house in this illustration. His appearance is slightly odd, since there are no lines allowing us to distinguish his hair and beard from his face. His hands are held in a clasped position, but I am uncertain of what this is intended to signify. Further, he has a sword mounted on his belt. Tristan is shown with his hand over his chest and a hung head, saddened by the news that Sempronio and Pármeno have died. He is wearing a hat as well.
