His work in pastel seems to have commenced under the influence of Tischbein (q.v.) in whose studio in the Keizersgracht Hodges worked on his first trip to Amsterdam in 1788. His copy of Tischbein’s painting of Johanna Sara Bicker demonstrates the English accent Hodges added to the German’s work. The velvety character of his pastels also reflects his training in mezzotint. Unjustly neglected, Hodges’s pastels are highly finished, in natural poses. Often viewed di sotto in sù, his simple bust length figures are shown against plain, usually dark backgrounds.
