Gertrude Annie Lauder (née Ashton; 1855 - 8 August 1918) was an English-born Scottish painter, born in Camden Town, England. She moved to Glasgow, Scotland: where she joined the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists; married the artist Charles James Lauder; and exhibited in the Royal Scottish Academy. On her death she left legacies to the Scottish Artists Benevolent Association, gave a fund to the Glasgow Art Club and left a fund to the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists to encourage art by women. The Lauder Prize, named for the best work adjudged in the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists annual exhibition, is named after her.[1][2]
