You can use title
attribute.
<img src="smiley.gif" title="Smiley face"/>
You can change the source of image as you want.
And as @Gray commented:
You can also use the title
on other things like <a ...
anchors, <p>
, <div>
, <input>
, etc.

display: block;
float:left;
}

<div class="image"><a href="#">Text you want on mouseover</a></div>
