When starting a Docker image:

$ docker run -it ruby:2.6.1 
Unable to find image 'ruby:2.6.1' locally
2.6.1: Pulling from library/ruby

You can start with docker history:

docker history  ruby:2.6.1

See "Digging into Docker layers" from Jessica G.

That will give you an idea of the content of those layers:
