The Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars six days after landing, captured on February 25, 2021 with the HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter from a distance of ~290 km and altitude of 276.1 km
The High Resolution Imaging Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) was able to capture this image of NASA’s Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars. The image was taken on Feb. 19, 2021.
It is a close-up version of a larger image showing several parts of the Mars 2020 mission landing system that got the rover safely on the ground, PIA24333.
These close-ups of Mars 2020 hardware were processed to make them easier to see.
Also there is a wider version of the photo in the link.
