In a manner of speaking, yes! There is Veronica's veil, which still exists and is kept in one of the columns of St. Peter's basilica in Rome. Until about 100 years ago, it was periodically displayed to the public for veneration and to give artists the opportunity to paint copies based on the original. The fabric of this famous veil is now extremely fragile and the image very faint, but in former times it was noted that the longer the image was placed on display, the darker it became.
Another image which was created by Christ in the same manner was a portrait which St. Jude Thaddeus carried with him while he spread the Gospel in the Middle East. Statues and pictures of St. Jude show him with this image, which in modern times has been reinterpreted as a golden bas relief plaque rather than a fabric veil. This second portrait has unfortunately been lost to the ages.
In the past, St. Jude Thaddeus was often confused with Judas Iscariot, the traitor, but these are, of course, two completely different people. You may notice that in pictures of St. Jude, he bears a very strong resemblance to Jesus. That is because they were true blood cousins related through Mary, His mother.

No, there has none been discovered and most scholar believe there were none made. Painting required time and money. Jesus and almost all his followers in his lifetime were poor or lower middle class. Jesus's family and followers did not have the money to spend for a painting. According to one scholar, the only thing Jesus drew were some words in the dirt.

No. But the website below claims to have created the most accurate picture of Jesus. It also offers views of why it potrays Jesus like that. Good read, and probably accurate.

Not a paintstroke. Kinda makes ya wonder. Books survive but nobody thought to draw a picture of the savior. Probably looked to Arab/Jewish for the Pope.
