My profile picture is a 1869 painting by Gérôme depicting a Black Bashi-Bazouk. They're wearing a tall and colorful turban as well as an exquisite silk tunic. In a three-quarter back-view, the subject looks towards the viewer in a dignified stance. A musket rests on their shoulder.
The header image is a seventeenth century still-life apparently from the Dutch painter Jan Davidsz De Heem, mainly comprising piles of well-used books. It signals the vanity of scholarly life.
