The easiest thing to do is use mailmerge with a catalog or directory type
mailmerge main document

See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of
fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at

I did try that already but the fact that the number of pictures that
have to be inserted changes all the time. It is between 20 to 140
pictures...

any suggestions

As suggested, use a directory or catalog type mail merge main document with
the mergefield for the pictures in one paragraph, the mergefield for the
description in the next paragraph and with an empty paragraph following it.
Or insert a one column, two row table with one mergefield in each cell.

You will then get what you want, regardless of the number of records.
