Charles Howard Hodges was a prominent English painter known for his portrait work in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

This painting exemplifies Hodges' skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects, a talent that made him a sought-after portraitist during his time.

Hendrik Bicker was a member of the influential Bicker family, which played a significant role in Amsterdam's political and economic life. The Bickers were known for their involvement in trade and governance, and Hendrik continued this legacy. His marriage to Wilhelmina Jacoba van Hoorn further solidified his standing within the Dutch elite. The portrait by Hodges likely served as a testament to Bicker's status and personal achievements.

Hodges, originally from England, moved to the Netherlands in the late 18th century, where he established a successful career.

In the portrait of Hendrik Bicker, Hodges employs a refined use of light and shadow to highlight the subject's features, lending a sense of depth and presence to the work.

The painting not only captures the physical appearance of Hendrik Bicker but also reflects the fashion and aesthetics of the period. Hodges' ability to convey the texture of fabrics and the subtle nuances of expression adds to the portrait's overall impact.
