Does anyone remember this? I think it was a grayscale image. It was head shot, or upper body (at most) of a woman in a white top. She might have been wearing a hat.

We used to open it in Paintbrush and marvel at how easily we could mess it up with just a few pixels, but could never draw anything like it. I think it was a low-res photo. Any help appreciated!

It is not the picture sometimes described as "jennifer poses in golden shirt".

Edit: ~~It did not appear to be a scan, either~~. It likely only had about three or four colours (white, grey, black).

Edit 2: I think I"ve found the model: Ashley Montana. I wasn't sure if it was a real person or pixel art. It was part or all of this image, minus any text: https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/mKDBF_mMShvBUG92qG6R5Q_6-ps/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2014/02/11/926/n/1922398/758f5e1e3ceb3026_0211_large/i/1991.jpg

The colour palette was significantly reduced too. Thanks for the replies! I'd still like to find the original BMP/GIF that was distributed, if anyone knows it.

Edit 3: Here’s my edit to make it look like how we had it, at least to the best of my memory: https://ibb.co/WN8wZ1K3

It's time for another 68k Mac repair. I thought it would be a quick and easy fix, but this turned out to be a but more mysterious.
