Where does one get a .heif file to use for the test case?

Cannot open HEIF/HEIC images in 23.04/lunar anymore

Bug description:
* Impact
The libheif loader is bailing out due to a missing plugin directory
which leads to image viewer as eog not being able to open pictures in
that format anymore
* Testcase
Install libheif1 and heif-gdk-pixbuf and try to open a .heif file in
eog
* Where problems could occur
The package build is using the option to not split the codec in
separate plugins but the version of Lunar doesn't handle the missing
plugins directory and bails out. The code of the version in mantic has
been refactored in a way which fixes this problem. For lunar it's
easier to just create the directory. The directory is included in the
libheif1 binary but that should not create any conflict, it's a
temporary situation for lunar only and even if the soname changed dpkg
allows for several deb packages to provide the same directory.
----------------------------------------------
In previous Ubuntu versions, including 22.10, I was able to open
HEIF/HEIC files by installing libheif1 and heif-gdk-pixbuf. This does
not work anymore in 23.04.
Running eog in a terminal displays:
$ eog IMG_9996.HEIC

eog then shows "Could not load image “IMG_9996.HEIC”. Image loading

gpicview even crashes immediately:
