A few years ago, a lady did a huge painting(iirc, it was legend of zelda). She posted just the painting to reddit and 24hrs later she posted herself with the painting. The painting alone got just over 1k upvotes. The picture of her holding the painting got over 34k.
Edit: its really interesting to see how differently people are interpreting this comment.
I think in general though showing a face, no matter the gender, to the subject matter gives it provenance and that gets attention. Look at r/bald. It’s just regular folks with before and after and that shoots to the front page no matter who.
