Presuming the other box has it loaded and you've got ssh X forwarding
enabled (either by config or by giving the -X flag to ssh) and working
(it should just work, but sometimes there may be xauth problems due to
hostnames not matching up) you should just be able to run gqview or
eog or any other X image view program and it should pop right up on
your local display.
