Is this image of Jean-Luc Picard sourced from a TNG episode?

Question

I recently played Star Trek: The Next Generation: Echoes from the Past, and was greeted by the following image of a front-facing Picard on several screens:

I at first assumed that the image was hand-drawn pixel art, made from scratch for the game, but according to Memory Alpha's page on Future's Past, another release of the same game, many visual assets used were traced from TNG:

As someone researching this game, I would appreciate any leads on the source of this image.

A possibility:
Based on the opening shot of Picard from the pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint"
It obviously isn't an exact shot just pixelized (the perspective is a little different and he is wearing a post-S2 uniform with a higher collar in the pixel image), but appears very much based on said opening.

It could be the same image, and they just used the left side, then did a mirror image for the right side. His face almost appears  * too * wide and it is nearly exactly symmetrical
Here's a quick version I just made in Photoshop using the mirror image idea:

The starfield / Picard image is from Season 1 episode "Lonely Among Us"

The Dr. Crusher scene is from S1: The Battle

And finally, the conference room scene is from Season 1: The Neutral Zone

Is this image of Jean-Luc Picard sourced from a TNG episode?
