It is possible to insert an image in a Google Spreadsheet using Google Apps Script. However, the image should have been hosted publicly over internet. At present, it is not possible to insert private images from Google Drive.

You can use following code to insert an image through script.

  function insertImageOnSpreadsheet() {
  var SPREADSHEET_URL = 'INSERT_SPREADSHEET_URL_HERE';
  // Name of the specific sheet in the spreadsheet.
  var SHEET_NAME = 'INSERT_SHEET_NAME_HERE';

  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(SPREADSHEET_URL);
  var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME);

  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
      'https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/images/reports.png');
  var binaryData = response.getContent();

  // Insert the image in cell A1.
  var blob = Utilities.newBlob(binaryData, 'image/png', 'MyImageName');
  sheet.insertImage(blob, 1, 1);
}
