"Kaiserin Maria Theresia in Witwentracht" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French portrait artist Joseph Ducreux, depicting the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa in mourning attire. The painting is notable for its representation of the Empress during a period of mourning, which is reflected in the somber clothing and subdued expression of the subject. Maria Theresa, who reigned from 1740 to 1780, was the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and the last of the House of Habsburg. She was a key figure in the politics of the 18th century, known for her reforms and her role in the War of the Austrian Succession.

Joseph Ducreux (1735–1802) was a prominent portraitist who gained recognition for his realistic and expressive depictions of European nobility, including members of the French royal family. His style is characterized by a focus on the psychological aspects of his subjects, often capturing their character and emotions in a manner that was ahead of his time.

The painting "Kaiserin Maria Theresia in Witwentracht" is significant for its historical and artistic value, providing insight into the period's mourning customs and the portrayal of female sovereignty in art. The work captures the personal grief of the Empress, while also reflecting the broader societal expectations of royal comportment during times of loss. The painting is an important example of Ducreux's portraiture and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and political milieu of the Habsburg monarchy in the late 18th century.
