Born in the United States in 1862, Shannon moved to England where he achieved significant success as a portraitist, becoming associated with members of the British aristocracy and royalty. His work "Off to School" is an example of his genre paintings, which often depicted everyday scenes with emotional depth and a focus on the human experience.

The painting captures a moment of childhood, portraying a young girl on her way to school. The subject is depicted with a sense of innocence and anticipation, characteristic of Shannon's ability to convey the subtleties of character and mood. The work is noted for its fine detail, use of color, and the interplay of light and shadow, which adds to the narrative quality of the scene.

His paintings often explored the roles and experiences of women and children, offering insight into the social norms and cultural values of the time. Shannon's style was influenced by his contemporaries in the British art world, as well as by the broader movements of Impressionism and Realism.

As an artist, Shannon received numerous accolades throughout his career, including election to the Royal Academy of Arts and the receipt of a knighthood.
