Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbols of Theater and Drama #1394787 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration features two stylized theatrical masks: a joyful, upturned-beige comedy mask and a somber, downcast-purple tragedy mask, both outlined in bold black for visual contrast. Rooted in ancient Greek drama, these masks were worn by actors to amplify expressions for large amphitheaters and signify character archetypes. Today, they remain enduring emblems of performing arts, used in logos, educational materials, and stage design worldwide.
