Writing Text onto an existing png image

[solemn dune]

I am trying to write a sting of text to an image but the image comes out with no text on it, please help

import java.net.URL;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;

public class TextWriter{

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        final BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("Maxwell.png"));

        Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
        g.setFont(g.getFont().deriveFont(30f)); // setting font size
        g.drawString("Hello World!", 100, 100);
    

        //g.dispose();

        ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File("test.png"));
    }
}```
