Dora Lynnell Wilson (Newcastle upon Tyne, 1883 – Melbourne, 1946) was a British-born artist who spent most of her career in Australia, where she is best remembered for her etchings and street scenes. Her family emigrated to Victoria in 1884, when she was a year old. She studied at the National Gallery school in Melbourne from 1901 to 1906 under Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin, forming lasting friendships with fellow students.
Wilson worked in etching, pastel and oil, producing still lifes and nudes. Critics praised her strong sense of colour but also found her work prettily sentimental. She showed in exhibitions including the Australian Exhibition of Women's Work in Melbourne and a Royal Academy show of Australian art in London. In 1923 her painting Reve d'Or appeared on the cover of Women's World and was exhibited in Paris. From the 1920s she concentrated on street scenes, and that year Sir Baldwin Spencer commissioned her to paint European landmarks, a project that took her travelling across Europe for over two years.
In the early 1930s she turned to historical scenes of Melbourne, shown in the 1935 exhibition Milestones of Melbourne. She died of cancer in 1946, leaving a bequest of £1100 to the National Gallery trustees to help Australian artists travel abroad.
