Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Drama and Performing Arts #3628394 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line art illustration features two overlapping theatrical masks-the joyful, wide-smiling comedy mask on the left and the sorrowful, downturned tragedy mask on the right-each with expressive eyes, brows, and stylized ribbons extending from the sides. The clean, minimalist design emphasizes the contrast between humor and pathos, reflecting the core duality of classical drama. These masks originate from ancient Greek theater and remain enduring emblems of the performing arts worldwide.
