Nadia's Last Portrait is a 1920 portrait by the Russian artist Victor Stember.
This is the last portrait that Stember painted of his daughter Nadia before he passed away in 1921. He painted Nadia a total of ten different times (two earlier paintings of her were not photographed).

Nadia, Nadezhda Viktorovna Stember (1893-1982), was herself a painter. She was first married to the painter Mikhail Ksenofontovich Sokolov, and Victor's diary records their divorce in June 1919. She later married Vladimir Fyodorovich Litvinov. Prokofiev wrote to her on August 30, 1914, and the letter is kept in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art.
