Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Classical Theatre #1484385 (License: Personal Use)

These iconic white plaster masks depict the ancient Greek personifications of comedy (smiling mask) and tragedy (weeping mask), traditionally worn by actors in classical theatre. Set against a stark black background, their high-contrast design emphasizes emotional duality and dramatic expression. The masks remain powerful visual metaphors for the full spectrum of human experience in performance arts.
