Looking for a BMP picture that was common on Windows 3.1(1) (woman wearing hat)

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: media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/…/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: ibb.co/WN8wZ1K3
