This is interesting, Islamic tradition today (mainstream), says the Prophets face is not to be depicted, yet a number of old painting exist showing the Prophet Mohammed in full.

Interestingly, many paintings also exist which show the Prophet with no face, some theorists claim this was a later change in culture whereby existing painintgs were defaced (excuse the pun), see below link.

Shi'a fiqh allows paintings of the Prophet (pbuh) and the Ahl ul Bayt (as).
