Answer

"Image" is any type of visual representation of something, real or figurative.

"Picture" refers the really to two things: photographers and paintings. The reason "picture" is used in the second sentence in your question is because of the verb "paints"  The authors is using the phrase "paints a picture" to say Dickens described very well London at that time.

Answer

for 1.    image       ...for  2.   picture

There is not a significant  difference.  Picture however, may be specifically a painting or a photograph.   An Image can be any form at all, even a  Mirror Reflection.
