This portrait of Countess Marie von Coudenhove-Kalergi is a work by Austrian painter Hans Makart, a leading figure in the "Salon realism" art movement of the 19th century. The painting captures Countess Marie in a moment of quiet contemplation, her refined features framed by a dark background, her elegant attire adding to the richness of the portrait. The inclusion of a peacock feather fan in the lower left corner hints at the sitter's elegance and social status, which was a common motif employed by Makart to portray members of the aristocracy.
