Default Image for ImageField

Question

Hi I'm trying to set up a default image for a ToDo List in Django. I have a the images under static/images . Now I'm trying to add a function where you can add tasks. in thid function I can choose a image. If no image is chosen, the image will become a default image ex. Placeholder.png

I tried creating a if else loop in models.py but that does not work either. Showing chosen images does work.

models.py:

class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
    price = models.FloatField()
    description = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True)
    image = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True)
    technologie = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    @property
    def imageURL(self):
        if self.image:
            return self.image.url
        else:
            return "static/images/Placeholder.png"

Now my question is how can I set Placeholder.png from the static directory as a default for ImageField?
