SolutionThere is no picture library per se, but you can do the following. It just depends on what you want to do with the images.

For those that have 3rd party migration tool such as ShareGate, you can migrate a picture library. I just did this and the icon is an image, so I'm guessing it found an picture library 'template'? This post is almost a year old, so maybe SharePoint has a picture library now, but I too did not see it as an option for Add App...

Just to close this thread out and complete the loop on things where there once wasn't a solution, there will be a solution for this by the end of 2018, and announced in the following link:
Search for 'Central Asset Library' for the small detail on this. I'm just waiting to find out how this works exactly, because as you have probably already seen, the 'Asset Library' is not available by default in a modern communication site.

When creating a new Communication Site, the Site Assets library doesn't exists.
The Site Assets library is (also) created automatically by:
By now you will have a new Site Assets library created and the uploaded image on it.
Real easy, isn't?

@Jean-Paul van den Bogert Late response but I don't see the obvious answer here in case anyone comes across this question.
"Modern" is simply a partially deployed cosmetic skin and SP's back end functionality hasn't changed so it's easy to import the picture library app into a modern site.
Url if needed is /sites/xxxx/_catalogs/wp/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Msft tries to make this more difficult than it should be so there may be some of the gotchas mentioned above, but basically you can still use much of the classic functionality Msft has hidden or removed with no issues.
