Hans Canon's "Maria Freifrau von Zehmen" (1882) depicts a woman in a richly detailed portrait. The subject's expression is serious, but her elaborate lace collar and delicate pearl earring suggest wealth and status. Canon's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the composition, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face. This portrait is a fine example of the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters, a hallmark of his career that spanned from 1829 to 1885.
