Who's That?
A while back I began supplementing my collection of backgrounds with images of famous paintings. Currently, the background in my right-hand monitor is Liberty Leading the People, by Delacroix.
Every time I look at that painting, it strikes me that the man just to the left of Liberty looks like a slightly shorter version of Abraham Lincoln. (Delacroix painted it in 1830; the figure is supposed to represent a bourgeois intellectual. Definitely not Lincoln - but it looks like him to me!)
