I don’t know what you mean by “from that time.”

The oldest icon of Jesus goes back to the 500’s–the Pantocrator of Sinai.

The best source for icons is St. Isaac of Syria Skete.

Oldest imagery remaining is 2nd century mosaic icons. One can presume that many of these were taken from then-known images which didn’t survive the iconoclasm heresy, and were attested to by the oldest surviving witnesses of Christ himself.

These images are remarkably consistent with mainstream iconography, but not with the “Western” images.

The beard is short, the hair usually bound back and mid-shoulderblade length, slightly wavy, and dark brown, olive complexioned. A few early icons show short hair, rather than bound back.
 
I’ve also read and have seen on “smart” TV shows that the Icons (especially the Pantokrator of Sinai) have all been taken from the Shroud of Turin.
