Suzanne Valadon, born Marie-Clémentine, was the daughter of an unmarried domestic worker and grew up in Montmartre. She supported herself from an early age with various jobs, including circus performer. After a fall from a trapeze she became a model for artists such as Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec who painted The Hangover (Suzanne Valadon) (1887-89) which is in Harvard Art Museums.
