    Is Grigori Rasputin (the Mad Monk of the Tsar era) in the picture, by chance?

    I'm guessing, no. 42, that's ra ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen!

    Gotta love history!!

    I think we've determined that 80 is Marcel Duchamp, not Pablo Picasso. Huang Rong is right - that's a Surrealist painting he's holding, not a Cubist painting.

    Thank you for the correction , Rong-er. This is interesting! Like a history lesson.

    Anyone knows if I'm right on 42? Is that Rasputin? It looks very much like him, except that I'm not sure if he plays that instrument....for leisure?

    That long beard makes No.42 look kinda like Rasputin but I'm not sure, I'm not the author of the painting you know :P. Maybe No.42 is a famous accordion player.
    Out of the 103 people I can only recognize about 60. Btw No.45 is Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest people ever lived, if you take a careful look at the painting you can see No.45 is gazing at the renowned drawing named the Vitruvian Man.

    102 I don't know who he is, but "103" is Yasser Arafat, he doesn't have a number :P.
    85 may be Morgan Freeman, the actor who played Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight.
