"Comedy" is a 1804 pen and ink drawing by William Marshall Craig, depicting two cherubs in a playful scene. One cherub is holding a mask while the other plays the lyre. The work is framed in a octagonal border and showcases Craig's ability to capture the innocent and lighthearted nature of childhood. It currently resides at the Art Institute of Chicago.
