About the piece
This 1840 oil painting depicts Sir George Lloyd Hodges in a striking red military uniform adorned with gold epaulettes and several medals of honor. Set against a dramatic, cloudy sky, the portrait captures the sitter's authoritative yet calm presence, exemplifying the formal portraiture of the early Victorian era.
