The Gnus manual says:

   `gnus-face-from-file' takes a JPEG file as the parameter, and then
   converts the file to Face format by using the
   `gnus-convert-image-to-face-command' shell command.

gnus-convert-image-to-face-command has the default value:

  "convert -scale 48x48! %s -colors %d png:-"

I know nothing about MS Windows, but I'd be surprised if this works there.
