Great question! The earliest surviving Christian art comes from the late 3rd and early 4th centuries on the walls of Christian tombs in the catacombs. Here, and only here, Jesus is portrayed in two different ways: older, bearded and robed and another as a bare faced youth holding a wand.

I was going to make up a funny answer to this, but it was just too stupid. Which portrait are you talking about? The one where he has long brown hair, an aura, and is gazing soulfully upward that is in most Protestant Bibles, or the Shroud of Turin, or what?
You do realize that there is no actual portrait from his lifetime, right? Or are you one of those who has a splinter from the true cross in a reliquary?

They seem to have come out in the 5th century, but the name is lost to history
