Try following code:-
Create new form Form1

C#

//global picture box
      PictureBox objPct = new PictureBox();

      private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          objPct.Image = Image.FromFile(@"~\abc.png");
          objPct.Visible = false;
          this.Controls.Add(objPct);
      }

      private void Form1_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          objPct.Visible = false;
      }

      private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
      {
          objPct.Location = new Point(Cursor.Position.X - this.Left, Cursor.Position.Y - this.Top-30);
          objPct.Visible = true;
      }

objPct.Image = Image.FromFile(@"~\abc.png");
