    Yes this is possible.

    What you mean is that you want to specify an image that will show up in the snippet that is generated by sharing on Google+. The +1 button does two things: 1) It adds a +1 to the count when clicked, and 2) optionally it allows a user to share your URL to Google+ and comment on it.

    What you’re asking about is the second part of that interaction and is documented at https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/snippet/

    That page has a tool that can help you generate the HTML you’d need to insert into your page. You can also choose from three different methods of specifying the snippet information.

    An example using schema.org markup:

    <!-- Update your html tag to include the itemscope and itemtype attributes. -->
<html itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article">

<!-- Add the following three tags inside head. -->
<meta itemprop="name" content="My Cool Article">
<meta itemprop="description" content="This is the greatest site ever">
<meta itemprop="image" content="http://example.com/mycoolimage.png">
