AN Tau has been classified as the β Lyrae-type variable. The only visual light curve was published 55 years ago. The star was observed photoelectrically during a few last years at Mt. Suhora and Skalnaté Pleso Observatories. The complete light curve was obtained in B and V band passes. The preliminary physical parameters of the system were obtained using the Wilson-Devinney code. From the period study of AN Tau we derived new period of the system being 1d.6143843, which differs by 0d.00026 from the value obtained earlier. The orbital period of AN Tau seems to be constant.
