There may be a tag for cover art but AFAIK its not supported by Easytag.

EasyTag doesn't care if you lob a suitable sized image into thre same
directory ad the track files its happy to ignore it and LMS is quite
happy to display .JPG or .PNG images on the relevant wab pages, just as
my old Touch is happy to display them on its screen. The file used to
have to be called 'folder.jpg' but I think it'll accept any name now.
