There are paintings of Jesus dating to 235 AD (in Syria) https://aleteia.org/.../10/the-six-oldest-images-of-jesus/ and the one below from 350 A.D. with more over the centuries of the Byzantine Empire. Even so most people aren't convinced they are actually historical likenesses. Jews of the first century A.D. tended not to make images of people because of scripture. It is possible that some of the followers were able to describe the Lord to Gentiles that saw him and they sketched a likeness that made its way to Roman and Byzantine ceilings. Probably most of the images are representational expressions rather than verisimilitudes of his actual appearance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depiction_of_Jesus...
