The 'Droste effect' is a Dutch term for a specific kind of recursive picture, one that in heraldry is termed mise en abyme. An image exhibiting the Droste effect depicts a smaller version of itself in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This smaller version then depicts an even smaller version of itself in the same place, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever, but practically it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration exponentially reduces the picture's size.
The term was coined by the poet and columnist Nico Scheepmaker at the end of the 1970s. It is named after Droste, a Dutch brand of cocoa, whose box has a picture of a nurse carrying a serving tray with a cup of hot chocolate and a box of the same brand of cocoa.
An example of the Droste effect can be easily created by placing two mirrors in front of each other. Another method would be to film one's own television with a video camera, while displaying the output of the video camera on the same television.
A famous example is Escher, some of whose prints revolve around it.

Close-up of a "Level 2" Menger sponge. I purposely subdivided the blocks of the sponge to slightly less than 1/3 (3/10 instead of 3/9) to create the gaps between sub-blocks.
The recursion was purposely stopped at 3 iterations (yes, a "Level 2") to keep the object count down. This image has 8,000 objects (20^3), but at 4 iterations, that balloons to 160,000 objects!

A modified sefl-portrait image. I wrote a Processing applet to recursively cut the image into smaller rectangles until either the rectangles were tiny or the color variation in the rectangle was below a chosen threshold. The green border is just for fun.

This one uses 'path' global illumination (32 samples) and 'constant' shaders for lights. I set anti-aliasing to 4 4 striving for a smooth DOF effect.

Best viewed large. There is a lot of detail. This image is based on the Heighway Dragon by Pure Pandemonium posted on contextfreeart.org.

Night Train to Lisbon (some reviews)
Squid in its own ink. Stuffed with Morcilla (pork sausage in its own blood). Atop pumpkin puree, sprinkled with its own toasted seeds.
I even ate this Argentine sausage with a glass (ok, 2 glasses) of its own Argentine Malbec.
Sarah's pepper had a baby pepper inside. Recursive metapepper!
