As I can understand you need some control that can display a dynamic content (text/image). I can suggest you to use the content control that selects its content DataTemplate according to it's current data context. I'will put a whole solution in several minutes. 

        <ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentControlContent.Content}">
            <ContentControl.Resources>
                <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type soSandBoxListView:SingleTextModel}">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding SingleModelContent}" Background="Tan"></TextBlock>
                </DataTemplate>
                <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type soSandBoxListView:MultipleTextModel}">
                    <StackPanel>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}" Background="Yellow"></TextBlock>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding LastName}" Background="Red"></TextBlock>
                        <!--use the binding to your picture presentation in model-->
                        <Image Source="Resources/yotveta.jpg" Stretch="None"></Image>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ContentControl.Resources>
        </ContentControl>
