"Peppers.png" image source?

Hello, I am curious about the sources of Matlab sample images, specifically the Peppers image. I was looking through the sample images in Matlab for a project and I found the peppers image. I quite like it's composition, however I am unable to find the photographer who took it or information about it online. Also, I am unable to find a higher resolution version of it.

This is my first post here, any help appreciated.

According to the file info it was modified (I believe created) in December 2002 and is copyright The MathWorks, Inc. I personally don't remember anything else about it. You may want to contact Technical Support and ask if the Support staff can find any additional information.
