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
Wow, I don't remember this at all.
I'll have to dig out my old Windows cds
It seems it was not bundled with Windows. That opens up all kinds of questions about how my friend got it on his computer :) I’ve added the link to my OP.
