Famous cover image actually in movie?

Hey, just saw The 400 Blows for the second time and once again I'm unable to place the image that usually shows up on Criterion DVD covers for the movie:

Is it actually there or am I still in control of my senses? I only ask because I find it strange that there doesn't appear to be a lot of people noticing that the cover image isn't actually in the movie, which makes me think I'm somehow missing it.

What's the Spanish for drunken bum?

I just saw the film for the first time and no i'm pretty sure that exact shot is not in the film. I would imagine that picture is Doinel looking out from the juvenile facility towards the end of the film.

The fence is from the jail Antoine is in with the adults before he's transported to the juvenile facility.

Street_Lord is right. I was looking out for it the whole time as I watched it for the first time last night.
