Misia Sert (born Maria Zofia Olga Zenajda Godebska; Tsarskoye Selo, 30 March 1872 - 1950) was a pianist of Polish descent who had an artistic salon in Paris. She was friends with many artists, and she posed regularly. Maria Zofia Olga Zenajda Godebska was born to a Polish father and a half-Belgian, half-Russian mother. Her mother died in childbirth. She was called Misia, a Polish diminutive of the name Maria.
Misia was a well-known beauty who was painted many times. She was one of the models for Toulouse-Lautrec's poster for the revue blanche in 1896, on which she can be seen skating. A portrait of Misia by Renoir now hangs in the Tate Gallery.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Limoges, France, 25 February 1841 - Cagnes-sur-Mer, 3 December 1919) was a French Impressionist painter.
