What happens when you try? Do you get an error message?

You have chosen to use gnus-face-from-file and a JPEG - the
documentation says that it uses gnus-convert-image-to-face-command to
convert the image to PNG:

,----[ C-h v gnus-convert-image-to-face-command RET ]
| gnus-convert-image-to-face-command is a variable defined in ‘gnus-fun.el’.
| 
| Its value is "convert -scale 48x48! %s -colors %d png:-"
| 
| Command for converting an image to a Face.
| 
| The command must take an image filename (first format argument
| "%s") and the number of colors (second format argument: "%d")
| as input.  The output must be the Face header data on stdout in
| PNG format.
| 
`----

Do you have ImageMagick installed on your machine (i.e. the package that
contains the "convert" command)?

To eliminate that potential source of problems you could save the image
as a PNG and use gnus-convert-png-to-face instead.
