Original - "Thracian Girl Carrying the Head of Orpheus on His Lyre", better known simply as "Head of Orpheus", by Gustave Moreau (1865).
Reason
The picture has beautiful contrast, exposure, and color balance—credit, of course, is due to the painter's haunting original. 1,313 × 2,069 px. It is by far the best example of this piece of art (see also the bigger but blurry and desaturated File:Gustave Moreau 007.jpg, the smaller and wildly contrasty File:Gustave Moreau Orphée 1865.jpg, and the much smaller and wildly contrasty File:GustaveMoreau01.jpg) and the most captivating portrait of Orpheus available.
