Mollie Rosalie Molesworth (1907-1935) was an English artist who specialized in water-colours, and made landscapes of England, India, Newfoundland, and Labrador.

Life and Art Born in Bangalore, India, Molesworth was educated mostly in England, attending the Cheltenham Ladies College (1914-18) and then the Wimbledon School of Art (1925-1928). In 1928, she was offered a free scholarship at the Royal College of Art, but instead chose to return to India. Between 1928 and 1929, she made landscapes of Northern India and of the region of Ladakh, where she trekked in 1929. Her record of this trek, Ladakhi Diary, exists in two different versions. A facsimile of the more polished version was published posthumously in 2010.
