Caroline Louisa Daly (1832–1893) was a Canadian artist born in Lower Canada, whose work is featured in one of eastern Canada's most prominent galleries, the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Her watercolours were misattributed to men until 2017, when Paige Matthie, a curator with the gallery, established provenance through a detailed two-year historical review and report.

[3] Point Turton, on the Yorke Peninsula of South Australia, was named in celebration of the double wedding.

[2] Daly's watercolour paintings feature a range of subjects including natural scenes, a stranded whale,[5] the interior of a cabin on a passenger ship, and images of the Prince Edward Island Government House in different seasons.

[8][9] An investigation of the provenance of the paintings was spurred by a visit to the Confederation Centre by Daly's great grandson, Richard Jenkins.

[9][10] Paige Matthie, who curated the exhibit, conducted a two year review of the attributions and prepared a detailed report outlining her findings.

[2][13] Matthie comments that in an era of limited opportunities for Victorian women, "It is wonderful that Daly seized opportunities to try new things with her work, painting the interior of her ship's cabin on the voyage to Australia, or copying the work of male artists who were able to go into the wilderness to capture the sublime beauty of Canada.

The gallery did what Matthie referred to as "some messy attribution research" and concluded that the paintings were by Charles L. Daly of Toronto.

Matthie said that the title came from the mid-Victorian custom of holding balls to introduce young ladies to society.
