Hello,
I am sorry I a, not really computer literate, but I had a normal blue background on my monitor screen and suddenly while looking into the websites I found out at my screen a photo of some beared guy I do not know and even less wqnt to have on my screen.
How am I to get rid of the lad?
Best.
A very old person

Welcome to the forum!

Are you sure you are not looking at a mirror? :D

I suspect someone is playing a prank on you by putting a gif as background or something more sinister...

Scan for virus and malware.

Hi notagenuis

Or you can find a picture you like and when you are looking at it make right click on it and select "Set as desktop background" and it will replace the "beared guy".

And don't forget to scan for virus!
