The Bowdler Sharpe sisters (fl. 1885 – 1910) were English colourists of ornithological illustrations. Between 1885 and 1910 at least seven of the ten daughters of Richard Bowdler Sharpe worked as colourists, painting lithographs drawn by Claude Wyatt, J.G. Keulemans and Henrik Grønvold. They are credited, sometimes by name and sometimes as a group, as colourists in at least five ornithological books by Sharpe, Wyatt, Joseph Whitaker, Walter Buller, and Frederick DuCane Godman. Their work was noted for its scientific accuracy in matching the correct colours to the birds. The eldest daughter, Emily Mary Sharpe, also worked as an entomologist.
