This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
The Englishman (William Tom Warrener) at the Moulin Rouge
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901)
Oil on cardboard, 33 3/4 x 26 in., 1892
Bequest of Miss Adelaide Milton de Groot (1876-1967), 1967 67.187.108
William Tom Warrener, an English painter and friend of Lautrec’s, appears as a top-hatted gentleman chatting up two female companions at the Moulin Rouge, the dance hall that epitomized the colorful and tawdry nightlife of fin-de-siècle Paris. The women’s suggestive attitudes—and Warrener’s ear, reddened in embarrassment—indicate the risqué nature of their conversation. This painting served as a preparatory study for a color lithograph of 1892.
