To add an image as an icon in a marker, you can use the folium.Icon class.
Here is an example:
import folium
map = folium.Map(
location=[45.372, -121.6972],
zoom_start=12,
tiles='Stamen Terrain'
)
tooltip = 'Click me!'
folium.Marker(
[45.3288, -121.6625],
popup='<strong>Mt. Hood Meadows</strong>',
tooltip=tooltip
).add_to(map)
folium.Marker(
[45.3311, -121.7113],
popup='<strong>Timberline Lodge</strong>',
tooltip=tooltip,
icon=folium.Icon(icon='cloud')
).add_to(map)
map
