The OpenPGP standard does not define any limit in terms of
size/resolution for photos in your public key. The only requirement is
that the photo be a JPEG picture. As it's possible to add more than 1
photo to a public key, you can put a gallery of your whole life in high
resolution into your key.
However, that's not reasonable. Your public key will grow more or less
exactly by the size of your photo. That is, if you like to have a 3 MB
public key, then go ahead. I recommend you don't.

No matter what the size of your photo is, in Enigmail your photo will be
reduced to at most 100x120 px. Other applications may choose to display
larger images though.
