Titles are not images.
If you Google "Our Lady of the Rosary" you will find many different images. Our Lady of the Rosary, or Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, are titles. Various images are associated with the titles.
The title Our Lady of the Rosary has helped me to better understand the title Our Lady of Consolation. Some titles, such as Our Lady of Lourdes or Our Lady of Guadalupe, are normally associated with one image. However, some titles are not associated with just one image. Such is the case with Our Lady of Consolation. The statue at Luxembourg is today the most common representation of Our Lady of Consolation that I am aware of, however, there are others. And some of those are quite old.
Of course, we should not get too worried about images. One day we will see that Mary is much more beautiful than any work of art here on Earth.
