This image on a magazine cover represents cruelty because the naked artist is crouching and some readers may fantasize about her, seeing this as teasing. Having an attractive artist on the cover will draw in male readers and get them to buy the magazine due to the "male gaze". It also promotes that particular artist and makes people fans. The prominent placement of the artist's head tells readers that this is not a new magazine, as they are familiar with the title. The black color of the image mixes well with the artist's black shoes. More attention is brought to her face and arms through brighter lighting to show expression, while also highlighting her muscles to convey to male readers that women can have muscles too and show control.
