Great found! Theatre, projection of ourselves, or simply hipocrisy? Actually, we wear a mask most of times. I like colour treatement here, it centers the attention in the figure. endika

You are probably right then, and it does look more tragic. There were several muses in the area, so I probably got them confused. This is a Roman original, over 1700 years old! raven15

This is excellent ~ I very much like the warm tones. It looks like a painting. The downturned mouth on the mask suggests Tragedy, which would make Melpomene its bearer. She was the Greek Muse of this genre; the comic Muse was Thalia. (Don't mind me; I'm an old drama teacher so costumes and theater history greatly interest me). I think this is my favorite of your three although all are very effective.
