Они рисовали портреты Нины. У неё красивое лицо. (but its better to say that she is beautiful in general than just about face :)).

Technically your phrase is correct but sounds really bad.

Individual and recognizable features of your face, and most of individual features of your image are though to be _your_ individual features. They are inherited by you. Because of this 'portrait' (a thing that captures someone's features) of these sounds paradoxal/confusing - it is not clear who is the person here: you or your face:)

"Портрет лица" is an impossible combination. In Russian portrait is a depiction of a person, rarely a group of people. Figuratively it can be applied to many things, but it implies personification of those things and independent/individual existance of those entities. Thus it is not applied to 1) body _parts_ (portrait of a hand) 2) images (portrait of a portrait of a portrait).
