Could a picture be worth a thousand words

I think a picture could be worth a thousand words because it depends on how the picture describes what is happening and it should have a lot of detail and its own unique things in the picture. Sometimes I think a picture is not worth a thousand words because sometimes pictures do not have detail or show anything wich can’t show anything in words. Do you think a picture could be worth a thousand words? Explain why. I do not think that the strange red painting is worth a thousand words because it does not show detail on whats happening.
