Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Drama and Theatrical Arts #1852732 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts the traditional theatrical masks of comedy (right) and tragedy (left), rooted in ancient Greek drama. The smiling mask features upturned eyes and an open mouth, while the weeping mask shows furrowed brows and downturned lips-both suspended by ribbons as if worn by performers. These symbols remain central to modern representations of drama, literature, and performing arts education.
