Věra Vovsová (1912–1998) was a Czech painter. She was born in Běstvina, but she lived and painted in the Bohemian city of Pardubice, where she found inspiration for many of her paintings. Her artwork usually depicted flowers, but she also painted scenery, e.g. the forest Kaštanka. Despite the beauty of her work, Věra was often disappointed with herself; in her letter named Letter for Friends, she wrote: "I realise that many times, when I came home from exhibitions, and not just those of classical maestros, but even from those of my colleagues, I was full of admiration to them, but full of sadness and disappointment with myself. But after calming down, I always realised that to paint in your own style, not giving in to fashion trends and being yourself is very important and right."
