Hofland was born in Nottinghamshire to a wealthy family, and took lessons from John Rathbone (c. 1750-1807). He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798, aged 21. He moved to Derby and then Leeds, where he was a popular drawing master, and became a prolific exhibitor at the early provincial exhibitions in northern England, including the Northern Society at Leeds. His subjects were predominantly British landscapes and country house portraits.
