Biography
Biography
From this marriage seven children were born, among whom Pieter Gerardus (1776–1839), Maria Margaretha (1780–1862) and Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os (1782–1861), who also became painters. De la Croix was probably trained by her father. She made "excellent portraits with black chalk", among other things. Scheen states that she was deaf-mute. It is known that her father was deaf-mute but the assumption that she would also be is probably a mistake following a mention at Van Eynden and Van der Willigen. In their Geschiedenis der Vaderlandsche Schilderkunst they write: "Susanna de la Croix, who was the daughter of the painter of that name, who has made herself known through the manufacture of a number of crayon portraits, and who is deaf-mute." The text was later quoted by Kramm, who in turn became the source for Scheen's mention. De la Croix died of smallpox at the age of 33, and was buried in the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague.
