Emma Jane Hodges had a close relationship with her father, the painter Charles Howard Hodges. He gave his daughter drawing lessons and made this dreamy portrait of her. She is about twenty years old and dressed in a gown of the latest fashion, with a wrinkled double collar and chamois leather gloves. In her will, Emma Jane bequeathed this portrait to the Rijksmuseum, along with her father's self-portrait.
