William Tom Warrener (18611934) was an English painter of portraits, landscapes and figurative subjects. He is best known for being the subject of his friend Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's painting ''L'Anglais au Moulin Rouge'' (The Englishman at the Moulin Rouge) (1892). He also appears in the background of ''Jane Avril dansant'' (1892). ==Life and career== Born in Lincoln, England, to a coal merchant and magistrate, Warrener studied at the Lincoln School of Art,〔Wood, Christopher.

The Text'', (Antique Collectors' Club, Woodbridge, 1995), p. 554〕 where he was awarded the Mayor of Lincoln's Gold Medal, and a Queen's Prize in the National Art Examinations at South Kensington,〔Waters, Grant M.. ''Dictionary of British Artists, Working 1900-1950'', (Eastbourne Fine Art, Eastbourne, 1975), p. 345〕 before studying at the Slade School of Fine Art, before moving to Paris in 1885 to study at the Académie Julien under Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre.〔Thomson, R..

The Text'', (Antique Collectors' Club, Woodbridge, 1995), p. 554〕 The former painting would have been selected for purchase by the Chantrey Bequest, but it was not eligible due to its being painted outside of England.〔'Lincoln School of Art: Annual Exhibition', ''Lincoln Gazette'', 22 March 1890〕 In 1890, it was exhibited at the annual arts exhibition held by the Lincoln School of Art, and was described in the Lincoln Gazette as dealing with a difficult subject in a powerful and sympathetic manner.〔'Lincoln School of Art: Annual Exhibition', ''Lincoln Gazette'', 22 March 1890〕 In 1895, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society of British Artists.〔'Court Circular', ''The Times'', 17 October 1895, p. 6〕 By 1906, Warrener had given up painting and returned to Lincoln in order to involve himself in the family business.〔Thomson, R..
