I believe that's called "a picture which contains itself as part of the picture." Ha Ha. Seriously, I don't think that has a name. Maybe we could give it one. How about a "Ummagummagram" after the Pink Floyd album.

Before the word "recursion" was used in this sense, it would have been called an "infinite regress".
