Archibald Hartrick studied at the Slade and was good friends with Paul Gauguin whom he painted in 1913 (recently acquired by the Samuel Courtauld Trust). It is suggested that Hartrick even introduced Van Gogh (whom he also painted, cf. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam) and Gauguin in 1886. His portrait of another close friend, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, was acquired by the Tate Gallery in 1951.
