Safari Standard Opening Page

I accidentally changed my Safari page. I don't know how I did it, but I want to change back to the "STANDARD" opening page. How do I do that?

Mac mini 2018 or later

I found a YouTube video that helped me discover my problem and fix it. I cannot now find the one I used, however, there seem to be many from which to choose. Ultimately the answer came via the functionality of the "slider" in the lower right corner of the Safari Home Page. I've attached an image, so readers can see my reference. In the process of learning, I realized that the "compass" was NOT the background I had previously, but it was NO BACKGROUND that was my standard. See second pic, where I've deselected "Background Image," which answers my search effort. Thanks again to all who tried to help. I feel like it was a bit of a "dumb" mistake on my part.
