The correct spelling for "de picture" is actually "the picture." The addition of the "e" is simply a misspelling. In IPA phonetic transcription, "the" is pronounced as /ði:/, with the voiced dental fricative "th" sound at the beginning followed by the long "e" vowel sound. This contrasts with the pronunciation of "de", which is transcribed as /dɛ/, with a short "e" vowel sound. Therefore, if the word is pronounced correctly, the "e" should not be present in the spelling.
