Biography: She was the daughter of the renowned Zagreb constructor
Herman Ehrlich (Našice, 1836, Zagreb, 1895) and Marija née
Eisner, the eldest daughter of the Zagreb rabbi. After the
death of her father, being a rich spoilt beauty, her mother
sent her to the Sacre Cśur College in Vienna, in order to
continue her education. First she married a Hungarian official
Lackmer, but divorced him after the First World War, and
married the naval officer Viktor Klobucar, with whom she
lived on Tuškanac (part of Zagreb) in a villa designed by
her brother, the famous architect Hugo Ehrlich, and in the
villa on Sušak, part of Rijeka. Despite her lengthy art
education, her opus is rather small, as she painted only
in moments of particular inspiration. Nevertheless, she
exhibited as a member of the Women's Fine Arts Club (1933-1940)
and as a member of ULUH (Croatian Artists' Association)
(1947-1948). Her work was included in the exhibition Half
a Century of Croatian Art (1938). From the same family of
artists, Marta, the daughter of Mira's brother Ernest, produced
a much bigger opus.
