Lack of a photo isn't all that important in this case. Interesting some of the paint is still on it. I wonder if the Sphinx was painted during at least one of its Pharaonical incarnations; any trace of paint chips would have been cleared out of the area when they meticulously cleaned out the dust and sand from around the base.

Yes it was painted. Saw it on TLC. Magnificently computer generated.For a long time they thought the nose was shot off by Neapolians soldiers but they discovered that it was actually chisled off. By whom? Nobody knows.They also think it is much older than anyone thought.
