"Naive Folk Portraits of Margaret and Mary Hodgson" is a pair of paintings by the English artist Thomas Burras, created in the early 19th century. These portraits are significant examples of British folk art, a genre that often reflects the self-taught or amateur status of the artists and is characterized by a simplicity of form and a lack of concern for correct proportion and perspective. The subjects of the paintings, Margaret and Mary Hodgson, were likely members of a rural or provincial family, as folk art often depicted individuals from outside the aristocracy or the wealthy merchant class.

Thomas Burras, whose life and career are not extensively documented, is known to have worked during a period when folk art was not typically appreciated by the art establishment. His work, like that of many folk artists, was often more appreciated for its historical and cultural value than for its adherence to the artistic standards of the time. The "Naive Folk Portraits of Margaret and Mary Hodgson" are characterized by their straightforward representation, bold colors, and attention to detail in the subjects' clothing and accessories, which can offer insights into the fashion and material culture of the period.

The portraits are notable for their charm and directness, capturing the essence of the sitters without the embellishments or idealization found in more academic art. As with many naive paintings, the backgrounds are typically plain or lightly detailed, focusing attention on the figures themselves. The importance of these works lies not only in their aesthetic qualities but also in their contribution to the understanding of social history and the democratization of art production in Britain during the 19th century.

The current location or ownership of the "Naive Folk Portraits of Margaret and Mary Hodgson" is not widely recorded, and the paintings may reside in a private collection or a regional museum specializing in folk art. Their status as works by Thomas Burras adds to the relatively small body of known works by this artist, and they continue to be of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of British folk art and portraiture.
