Original – Christmastide Divination, a painting by Konstantin Makovsky showing a Russian folk alectryomancy during Eastern Orthodox Christmastide to foretell a marriage for young women in the near future.

Reason

It turned out a high-res version of this does exist, although the brightness and contrast asked to be adjusted (somewhat arbitrarily, the original is linked in the source).
