Isn't it Egill Skallagrímsson picture used in Øyvind Kåresson Lambes profile? Some misunderstanding perhaps perhaps? https://fi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egillin,_Kalju-Grimrinpojan_saaga

Øyvind was a Norwegian viking of the late ninth and early tenth centuries, known from among other sources, Egil's Saga. He was the son of the viking Berle-Kari and brother-in-law of Kveldulf Bjalfason, who married Eyvind's sister Salbjorg Karadottir; so he was uncle to Skallagrim and Thorolf Kveldulfsson and great uncle to the famous poet Egil Skallagrimsson, I do not have book about Egils saga near at the moment, so I am not 150% sure, but everywhere in internets wild world picture has been used to describe Egill himself, not the great uncle.

A quick google image search shows that the it is the "picture" of Egil Skallagrimson yes, - I have untagged Øyvind from it and tagged Egil.

In any case: we does not know how they looked like. The image is from a seventeenth-century manuscript of Egil's Saga and shows the poem's author and hero, Egil Skallagrimsson.
