Menander in der Betrachtung von Theatermasken der Neuen attischen Komödie, rechts eintretend Thalia (oder Glykera_) 

"Menander in der Betrachtung von Theatermasken der Neuen attischen Komödie, rechts eintretend Thalia (oder Glykera_)" is a drawing by the Italian artist Ventura Salimbeni, dating back to the late 16th or early 17th century. The drawing depicts the Greek playwright Menander contemplating theatrical masks, likely those used in the "New Attic Comedy" genre, with a figure believed to be Thalia, the muse of comedy, entering from the right. The drawing showcases Salimbeni's masterful use of line and detail, conveying the contemplative nature of Menander and the symbolic significance of the masks. This piece offers a glimpse into the world of theater and artistic expression during the Renaissance, capturing the intersection of classical inspiration and artistic innovation. It is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
