Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Theater and Dramatic Arts #1217843 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the traditional theatrical masks of comedy (left, smiling broadly) and tragedy (right, mouth open in lament), rooted in ancient Greek drama. Their exaggerated features emphasize emotional expression for large audiences, and they remain enduring icons of performing arts worldwide. The stark contrast highlights the dual nature of storytelling-laughter and sorrow-as central to dramatic tradition.
