In case you're wondering it was made by George Etheredge. It was used in an NYT article about the artist Chuck Close.

Haha, the mystery is solved.

pp_mcqueennone's comment showed me the the way the "photoshop" was made. The photographer took a close-up photo of a mosaic artwork in a NYC subway: archive.today • Art Underground: A First Look at the Second Avenue Subway - The New York Times.

Ninja edit: Haha x2. He didn't even do that much. I checked the photo credit and I learned he took the original subway photo. All he did to make the eye was crop that.
