The code itself:

import telebot
from telebot import types

TOKEN = '788777847:AAHvy-O3o838Tx1LVSAMCGjIOP0cWXw1WhY'

PHOTO_1 = 'AAMCAgADGQEAAgFPYTDnPGLRFY_rKXWyXzWWYjVnEocAAksSAAKRhYhJL9xN-MfUM-QBAAdtAAMgBA'

bot = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)

@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start(message):
    startmenu = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup(True, True)
    startmenu.row('hello?')
    bot.send_photo(message.chat.id, PHOTO_1)
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Привет! как отпраить картинку?. ', reply_markup=startmenu)

bot.polling()

Here is a piece of echo bot code for working with photos

@dp.message_handler(content_types=['photo'])
async def handle_docs_photo(message):
    await bot.send_photo(message.from_user.id, message.photo[-1].file_id)
