I just spent a few minutes playing with a bg picture script. Just to see how it worked. There are a few more details that are necessary to display a picture properly as a folder bg picture. Compile the following as an application bundle with the folder and picture file in its Resources folder ...

on run
	set myPath to (path to me)
	tell application "Finder"
		(myPath as text) & "Contents:Resources:BF1.jpg"
		set pictFile to the result as alias
		--
		(myPath as text) & "Contents:Resources:SplashFolder:"
		set splFolder to the result as alias
		--
		my displayPictAsFolderBG(pictFile, splFolder)
	end tell
end run -------------------------------------------------------

on displayPictAsFolderBG(pictAlias, folderAlias)
tell application "Finder"
set current view of window of folderAlias to icon view
set background picture of icon view options of (window of folderAlias) to pictAlias
--
open window of folderAlias
set toolbar visible of window of folderAlias to true -- added to correct set bounds problem
set sidebar width of window of folderAlias to 0 -- added to correct set bounds problem
set bounds of window of folderAlias to {6, 60, 825, 696}
set toolbar visible of window of folderAlias to false -- added to correct set bounds problem
end tell
end displayPictAsFolderBG --------------------------------


There isn't anything that can be done about the folder opening first, then moving to its correct bounds. The toolbar commands require that the window be open. When is that little problem with the toolbar going to be fixed? It has been YEARS since it was discovered and reported, yet nothing has been done about it.
