Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros

Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros (1748–1810), also known as Louis Ducros or Du Cros, was a Swiss painter, watercolourist, and engraver associated with the pre-Romantic movement. Born in Moudon, he studied in Lausanne and Geneva, where he copied Dutch and Flemish paintings and painted watercolours of the local countryside. In 1776, Ducros moved to Rome and, in 1778, traveled through southern Italy, Sicily, and Malta, producing nearly three hundred watercolours during this journey. He died in Lausanne in 1810.
