The Englishman at the Moulin Rouge is a late-19th-century painting by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Done in oil on cardboard, the work depicts British artist William T. Warrener – a close friend of Lautrec – and two women at the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris.[1] The painting served as a preparatory study for a color lithograph of 1892, and is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which acquired it in 1967.[2]
