Description: | Laura Sylvia Gosse was one of the first women to be a member of the 'The London Group', a collective of artists which was founded in 1913. Born in London, the daughter of a writer and critic, Sir Edmund Gosse, studied at the St John's Wood School of Art and the Royal Academy School of Art. Gosse later received instruction from Walter Sickert who became her greatest artistic influence. She taught at Sickert's Rowlandson House art school and nursed him during his illness in Dieppe in 1920. Gosse had a successful career, exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy, the New English Art Club and the Society of Women Artists. Her paintings can be found in many international collections, notably the British Museum, the Ashmolean, Oxford and Tate. This scene shows a woman standing in a street in traditional Breton dress which was worn by the inhabitants of Brittany, France.
