Elfrida Tharle-Hughes was an English artist, born in Ryde, Isle of Wight. She received her training in the Slade School of Fine Art in London and ateliers in Paris. She spent two years traveling in Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, India, Burma, Thailand, and Indonesia in the 1920s. Her prominent works include those she created during her travels, depicting scenes of local life.

In 1928, she donated a series of five watercolour paintings to the Victoria and Albert Museum. According to the artist, she was the first European artist to be given uninhibited access to the cremation ceremonies of a Prince and Princess of Bangli State, Bali Island, Dutch East Indies, which is the subject of the painting series donated to the V&A.

Tharle-Hughes exhibited at Beaux-Arts, Grosvenor Gallery, the International Society, Manchester City Art Gallery, the London Salon, Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, New English Art Club, and at Redfern Gallery in London. A selection of her works is featured in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Imperial War Museum.
