Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbolism in Classical Theatre #287032 (License: Personal Use)

This vibrant illustration depicts two figures in classical Greek theatrical garb-one in a white chiton, the other in a green himation-holding the traditional masks of comedy (upturned smile, raised eyebrows) and tragedy (downcast eyes, open mouth). The masks feature exaggerated expressions to ensure visibility in large amphitheatres, embodying the dual nature of dramatic performance. The artist’s signature “MARTIN” appears discreetly on the robe.
