AFAIK MusicBrainz doesn’t offer artist images.
If someone has added a Wikipedia- or Wikidata link to the artist, informations like “artist image” or “bio” will be pulled from this sources - if available.
If this sources doesn’t have any artist image (respecting the publishing- and other rights) MB also can’t display it.

We’re currently not displaying artist images at all, but you could follow the Wikidata links and try to get the image from there.
Make sure to either link back to Commons or print the appropriate attribution.

reosarevok, is there any possibility in the future of including artist images in the database, even if it is just fetched from other sources?

@AudioBlip I don’t think that this will happen any soon:
