Rose-Adélaïde Ducreux (Paris, 1761 - Saint-Domingue, July 26, 1802) was a painter and French music.
She was the eldest daughter of the painter Joseph Ducreux, with whom she studied. Between 1791 and 1799 he showed his works in halls of the palace of the Louvre. In 1791 he painted a self-portrait in which he appears playing the harp, today in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York. Jacques-Louis David portrayed it.
Ducreux married the prefect of Saint-Domingue, and moved with her husband to that colony. He died of yellow fever on July 26, 1802. Bibliography
