Not really. Basic assumption:

Black or dark skinned man- probably bald and wore little clothing (due to heat). If he was married he would have had a beard.

Revelation 1:13-15 is a description of the Risen Christ and is very symbolic in nature:

"And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

"His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

"And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters."

Other than that, the closest thing to a description of Jesus is the prophetic description by Isaiah, referring to Him after the Scourging:

Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men.

And Isaiah also prophetically says that He was not a handsome person:

Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Those three passages are about as close as we ever get to a description of Jesus.

No. But you can have an idea by the way people dressed in history, and by what people looked like in that day and time.

There is no description but he was a Jew so you can expect that he had dark hair and beard since beards were common at that time.

There are a few texts that communicate that He was fairly average looking.

no, there is no detailed description of what Jesus looked like....
not that it matters now.
Jesus is God.
He now looks like God.
