The image did not show up on xwd.
Nor did I find any window with the actual coordinates with xlsclients|
xwininfo.
It shows up in the background if I drag a window like 'xterm -bg white'
past the area but now with xterm -bg blue.

It shows on the background with 'xsetroot -bg any-color',
wheras 'display -window 0 picture.png' hides the image.
