Woodward was born in Stanton Hall in Derbyshire, England the son of William Woodward in 1760.
Nicknamed "Mustard George", Woodward had a somewhat crude but energetic style. Widely published in the Caricature magazine and elsewhere, his drawings were nearly all etched by others, primarily Thomas Rowlandson, but also Charles Williams and Isaac Cruikshank. Described by Dorothy George as "He makes a very considerable figure in caricature.
He was original, prolific, and varied.".
