When the Louvre put the majority of its collection online, it clearly went through and photo-documented a ton of stuff that hadn’t been before, but occasionally you also run across a record where it’s very evident that the documentation was done much earlier. Usually it’s just that the photo is black-and-white or color faded, but looking at this one I’m about 80% sure it’s a screencap from a video documentary of some kind.

[Description: A grainy image of a cylinder seal depicting a man fighting animals and some “androcephalic” (man headed) bulls. The image has faded colors and motion blurs in the background suggesting this may be a freeze frame from a video.]
