Did you know?
Suzanne Valadon was a fascinating figure in Montmartre, rising from a circus acrobat and artist's model to become a successful painter in her own right. This work, often called 'The Hangover,' is one of several intimate portraits the artist painted of her during their brief and tempestuous romantic affair. Its raw, psychological honesty offers a sharp contrast to the more idealized portrayals of women common in art of the period.
