Who is Suzanne Valadon?

The main figure in the foreground is a Suzanne Valadon who is carrying what appears to be a basket or perhaps a hatbox. She is looking straight at the viewer as if resigned to her fate and the oncoming rain.
As in Dance at Bougival, Renoir has used Suzanne Valadon’s dress to capture a few faces that not immediately apparent to the eye.
