Here it is:

https://muep.iki.fi/emacs/appdata.png

In the short term, I think this could be placed just into
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/images/appdata.png

Later it might be sensible to start using an URL that has at least the 
major component of Emacs version (so currently 26) in the path and start 
maintaining the Emacs appdata xml so that the screenshot reference uses 
these URLs. Then users of old Emacs source would fetch a screenshot of 
the old version if they get it based on that appdata XML for some purpose.

If it is desired to keep the existing content at
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/images/appdata.png
as-is, the new screenshot could perhaps be installed already at
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/images/appdata-26.png or somewhere 
like that.

Thanks
