Lisa,
The following entries in DocBook, The Definitive Guide show how images are 
usually done in docbook docs:

http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/figure.html
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/informalfigure.html
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/inlinemediaobject.html
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/imageobject.html

There are different ways to wrap it, but all end up containing something like:

  <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref="figures/eiffeltower.png" format="PNG"/>
  </imageobject>

Where the value of fileref or entityref on the imagedata element refers to the 
desired image. Other attributes allow you to define the sizing etc: 
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/imagedata.html How that information is used and 
what file formats are supported in producing output depends on the processing 
system and the output type. 

A couple of useful links wrt docbook specific questions:
