Statues of living beings are forbidden by scholarly consensus. Photographing them and hanging them up constitutes an affirmation and propagation of a reprehensible act, and is therefore impermissible. If you are unable to remove the picture, you are not obligated to do so; your repentance and remorse for what has passed are sufficient for you.
