Three-quarter-length, seated facing front, chair turned slightly towards the right. Stares outwards to a point over the viewer's right shoulder. Wearing academic robes, right hand in his lap, left hand holding a mortarboard. Curtain behind and to the left. At the right, a view of the Great Court at Trinity College, Cambridge. William Hodge Mill (1792-1853) was an ordained priest (from 1817) and a scholar of Sanskrit and Arabic. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge from 1809, becoming D.D. per Lit. Reg. in 1829 and a Fellow in 1814. He was made Regius Professor of Hebrew at Cambridge in 1848 and an honorary canon of Ely Cathedral in the same year.

Mixed method mezzotint. Proof with scratched and open letters. Artists' names scratched in uppercase roman letters below the image to left and right: 'J.C. THOMPSON R.H.A. DEL.T' [Note: the 'T' of the artist's first name has been mistaken for a 'J'; see Notes] and 'G.T. PAYNE SCULP.T'. The title engraved below in uppercase open roman letters: 'THE REVEREND WILLIAM HODGE MILL, D.D.' / [and in scratched italics] 'Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of Cambridge, &c. &c. &c.'. Scratched at lower left: 'PROOF'. Publication details engraved at lower centre: 'LONDON: JOSEPH MASTERS, 78 NEW BOND STREET'. Scratched at lower right: 'Printed by W Hatton'. Inscribed in graphite on the sheet at lower right: '278'. A production date is not known, but it is possible that Thompson's portrait and/or Payne's engraving may have been created on the occasion of the sitter's professorship in 1848. Thomas Clement Thompson's portrait of James Ingram (1774-1850), Rawlinson Professor of Anglo-Saxon and President of Trinity College, Oxford, employs the same compositional device of the curtain and view of the buildings of Trinity College, Oxford to one side.
