Great question!
Mary has been depicted in many different ways over the millenia.
One of the earliest images of the Blessed Virgin is a fresco from the catacomb of Priscilla in Rome, dating from the beginning of the third century A.D.; i.e. the early 200s.
Mary also figures prominently in Christian iconography, an example of which can be found on my biopage [cmvaughan], and embroidered icons of Mary can be found at the Museum of Embroidered Icons (see related link below).
Mary has also been portrayed in famous sculptures such as Michelangelo's Pieta.
A great resource for studying how the Blessed Mother is portrayed in art is the University of Dayton, an institute dedicated to Marian scholarship. (see related link below).
