"Maria Theresa in Mourning" is a notable portrait by the French painter Joseph Ducreux, created in the late 18th century. This artwork captures Maria Theresa, the Holy Roman Empress, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, and mother of Marie Antoinette, during a period of mourning. Ducreux, renowned for his expressive portraits and innovative approach to capturing the physiognomy and emotions of his subjects, presents Maria Theresa in a state of somber reflection, a departure from the more formal and idealized royal portraits of the era.

The painting is significant for its intimate portrayal of grief, showcasing Ducreux's mastery in conveying complex human emotions. The choice of attire, subdued color palette, and the detailed rendering of Maria Theresa's facial expression all contribute to the overall melancholic atmosphere of the piece. This work not only highlights the personal sorrow of a reigning monarch but also reflects the broader cultural and social practices surrounding mourning and loss during the 18th century.

"Maria Theresa in Mourning" is considered an important work in Ducreux's oeuvre and in the broader context of European portraiture. It offers insights into the private lives of historical figures, the role of portraiture in personal and public mourning, and the evolution of emotional expression in art. The painting is a testament to the skill and sensitivity of Joseph Ducreux as a portraitist, capable of capturing the depth of human emotion and the nuances of individual character.
