   It's one of Van Gogh's self portraits. This one shows his ear bandaged.

   I haven't seen anyone guess the last picture I posted but my Internet 
provider misses a lot of articles. It was The Death of Marat by 
Jacques-Louis David. 

   Here's another. It's probably going to be hard to identify this one too
but the next two I plan to post should be easier. One of the previous
notes in this thread might give you a clue. Can you identify it?
