First exhibited under the title of Femme du Monde (Woman of the World) in 1929, the sitter was for years identified as one Monna Lils. It is likely, however, that this name is a punning pseudonym that alludes to the Mona Lisa and the actual sitter—the celebrated actress Lili Damita who later married Errol Flynn. -- source link
