https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkImage.html#gtk-image-set-from-file See gtk_image_new_from_file() for details. 

...
void     gtk_image_set_from_surface ()
void     gtk_image_clear ()
GtkWidget *     gtk_image_new ()
void     gtk_image_set_pixel_size ()

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkImage.html#gtk-image-clear Resets the image to be empty.

So I'd try clear/set
