Tragedy and Comedy Masks - Symbol of Classical Theatre #3807010 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts a traditional theatrical mask vertically divided down the center: the left half portrays tragedy with a teardrop, furrowed brow, and downturned mouth, while the right half embodies comedy with a wide grin, arched eyebrow, and joyful expression. The design originates from ancient Greek theatre, where masks helped actors project emotion to large audiences and distinguish character types. Today, it remains a universal emblem for drama, performing arts, and the duality of human experience.
