Laura Sylvia Gosse (14 February 1881 – 6 June 1968)[1] was an English painter and printmaker.

[2] Her grandfather was the naturalist Philip Henry Gosse,[3] and the painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema was her uncle by marriage.

[2] Gosse had an independent income, and without her financial support the school would have closed much sooner.

[3] Gosse remained close to Sickert and his wife Christine, whom she nursed through her final illness in 1920.

[2] Sickert's influence shows both in Gosse's brushy style and in her subject matter, which leans towards domestic interiors, street scenes, and London night life.
