"David Garrick between Tragedy and Comedy" is a 1772 painting by the Irish-born artist Nathaniel Hone. This oil on canvas work portrays the renowned English actor David Garrick, who was a dominant figure in London theatre during the 18th century, caught in a symbolic tug-of-war between the allegorical figures of Tragedy and Comedy, representing the two dramatic arts that Garrick famously mastered. The painting is a visual representation of Garrick's versatility as an actor, capable of moving audiences to both laughter and tears.

The artwork is significant not only for its subject matter but also for its artistic merit and the insight it provides into 18th-century theatrical culture. Hone's composition is a masterful blend of portraiture and allegory, with Garrick's expressive countenance capturing the viewer's attention while the personified genres vie for his allegiance. The painting also serves as a testament to Garrick's celebrity status and his influence on the popular culture of his time.

Nathaniel Hone was an important figure in the British art scene and a founding member of the Royal Academy. His depiction of Garrick is one of the most famous images of the actor and is often cited in discussions of his career and the broader context of the period's theatrical arts. The painting is housed in the National Portrait Gallery, London, where it continues to be an object of study for art historians and enthusiasts of theatre history.
