Ginevra de’ Benci is an oil-on-panel portrait painting by Leonardo da Vinci of the 15th-century Florentine aristocrat Ginevra de’ Benci, born circa 1458. It was painted between 1474 and 1478 to commemorate her engagement or wedding. The juniper bush that surrounds her head and fills much of the background is a symbol of female virtue, while the Italian word for juniper, ginepro, is a play on Ginevra’s name.

Randomness occurs in numbers such as log(2) and pi. The decimal digits of pi constitute an infinite sequence and “never repeat in a cyclical fashion.” Numbers like pi are also considered likely to be normal.
