| Description |
English: The Ghats at Benares. Hodges's Diploma work depicts the broad flights of steps known as ghauts or ghats, lining the Western bank of the Ganges at Benares, which enable ceremonial bathing. Although he worked from sketches made in India, Hodges painted this picture in London. In his studio he applied European Neoclassical painting conventions to the compositional arrangement and finish. The result is a polished picturesque scene rather than a strictly topographical one.
