When you upload a new picture you need to fill checkbox : Make media library versionable :
More details you can find here: https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/content_authoring/media_items/using_media_items/upload_a_file_to_the_media_library

Q1) Is it recommended for using the version of an image when used in the media library?– AmitCommented Dec 6, 2017 at 9:06
Sitecore supports to use Unversioned and Versioned templates for Media Items. All these templates you can find /sitecore/templates/System/Media
Versioning for Media items the same as a standard items versioning. You can easily to set Publishing Restrictions and use your Media item.
<setting name="Media.UploadAsVersionableByDefault" value="false" />
If you set it to true, item will be created only in one default language version. This media item will use a versioned template /sitecore/templates/System/Media/Versioned/File template and if it is false, then it will use /Sitecore/templates/System/Media/Unversioned/File template and create media Item in all those languages which exist under /Sitecore/system/languages.

@Amit By default Sitecore uploads media as unversioned data. In order to have different media data for different languages you need to upload media as versioned. Otherwise you won't be able to have different data for the same media item. Even if you change unversioned template to versioned. Commented Dec 6, 2017 at 9:11

@Amit Also you can use Sitecore Rules for show specific image base on your condition. But if you want to use versioning with Publishing Restrictions you should remember, that OOTB items will not publish at set time automatically unfortunately, you have to schedule it to publish (even then there are some issues around schedule timers that may mean it's not exact).

You can default this to on in the sitecore.config by setting the value to true. The default is false which is not versionable. <setting name="Media.UploadAsVersionableByDefault" value="false" /> Commented Dec 6, 2017 at 16:40
