Try this,

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;
 
public class sample
{
	public static final int WIDTH=1000;
	public static final int HEIGHT=680;
 
	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
		JFrame myWindow=new JFrame();
		myWindow.setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
		myWindow.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
		JLabel myLabel=new JLabel("MY PICTURE GALLERY");
                myLabel.setIcon(new ImageIcon("c:/help_icon.PNG"));
		myLabel.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT);//To change the text positon
		myLabel.setBounds(450,10,350,20);//Setting Bounds
		myWindow.getContentPane().add(myLabel);
		myWindow.setVisible(true);
		}
}
