    A CustomLog directive in the sites <VirtualHost> container combined with a <FilesMatch> container to limit logging to a specific file or set of files using a regular expression can be used.

    Or you can just find an entry for that image in your servers existing access logs.

    htaccess by itself doesn't have any means to log file access that I'm aware of though. It has to be done in the <VirtualHost> container.
