Machine-translated from the French article

Lili Grenier, pseudonym of Noémi Amélie Sans, born 9 October 1863 in Paris and died 10 September 1936 in Villiers-sur-Morin (Seine-et-Marne), was a French model and muse, a figure of the Montmartre artistic milieu at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Close to painters such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Louis Anquetin, Albert de Belleroche, Jules Desbois and Albert Grenier, her companion in a free union for many years, she is depicted in numerous works, including paintings, lithographs and sculptures. Her work as a model is documented by works held in several museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d'Orsay and the Petit Palais.
