Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
There is no established prohibition on looking at the image of a non-mahram woman due to the prohibition of "looking at a foreign woman." However, if other titles such as the violation of honor or the potential for harm apply, then the ruling on looking would depend on that title.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is not permissible to look at the image if the woman is known, as a precaution. However, if she is not known, it is permissible to look as long as the image is not provocative. If the image is of her as a child before puberty, and it does not match her appearance as an adult due to changes, then looking at the image in itself is likely permissible. However, if it matches her current appearance, it is obligatory to refrain from looking.
