Ebba Maria Sassnitza Wallenberg, (11 April 1896 - 4 October 1966) was a Swedish artist known for her romance with Nils von Dardel and as the main motive of several pictures which Dardel painted during the period 1917–1920. Wallenberg was engaged to Dardel in secret, but the engagement was annulled in 1919 by her family when they told Dardel that he did not meet the requirements to be married into the Wallenberg family. He was not considered useful to the Wallenberg company (indeed, the risk that Dardel would take advantage of being married into the family was considered very high), and rumours about his nightlife had reached Nita's father. The broken engagement heavily affected Dardel's painting and resulted in several pictures of womanly figures that resemble Nita.
