wait, did we have a picture of vecta from before he was a lich? I've only seen him in bones or in parts.
edit: searching on Google, I can't find a picture of him when he was human
D&D Beyond released some character sheet backdrops to coincide with the Vecna: Eve of Ruin module, one of these features someone that might be Vecna, you can see that background here.
The book itself didn't interest me so I don't know if that's actually meant to be Vecna, or if it's just some guy with the hand and eye, but I would guess the latter as the artefacts are just leftover bits of Vecna's lich body, a pre-lich Vecna should just look normal I would think.
As far as I can see there is no official artwork of Vecna before he became a lich, just various different forms of lichdom.
Eve of Ruin contains a picture of human Vecna with Kas plotting to conquer Oerth. The artwork there is different from the one you shared, but he is white and blond in it.
