Marie Elisabeth Wrede
Marie Elisabeth Wrede (born 1898 in Salzburghofen, died 1981 in Boulogne) was an Austrian painter, best known for her portraits.
Wrede studied with Fernand Léger in Paris. She associated with Paul Valéry, Robert and Sonia Delaunay and also Pablo Picasso, whom she drew.
She was married to Paul Arnold Hallgarten (born 7 December 1902 in Frankfurt am Main, died 1930 in Salzburg), the son of Fritz Hallgarten and Yella Bonn, a cousin of Moritz Julius Bonn, who in turn was a cousin of the art historian Aby Warburg.
