Or try this, 
where image-element 'q' is removed from the DOM-tree 
but kept available for later reinsertion:

<body>

<img id=q src='myImage.jpg'>

<script type='text/javascript'> 'use strict'

	let q = document.getElementById('q');
	let b = q.parentNode; // = document.body
	
	window.setTimeout('b.removeChild(q);',2000);
	window.setTimeout('b.appendChild(q);',5000);

</script>
