Description
Originally a charcoal drawing by Egon Schiele, 'Woman Buttoning Her Shoes' is from 1915. This reproduction is printed in the UK on 300gsm textured paper with a solid ash frame, hand-stained in black. It's glazed with a window mount and ready to wall-mount with fittings at the back of the frame. A protégé of fellow Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele was born on 12 June 1890 in Tulln an der Donau, Austria. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Arts and Crafts) in Vienna, where Klimt had once studied, as well as the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna. He was later mentored by Klimt. An early exponent of Expressionism, his figurative paintings and self-portraits are known for their intensity, raw sexuality and unapologetic honesty, often using bright colour. Aged only 28, he died in 1918 when the Spanish flu pandemic reached Vienna. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece because it brings a sense of understated elegance and a touch of artistic sophistication, perfect for adding character to a minimalist or contemporary interior. The line drawing’s simplicity allows it to work well in a range of colour schemes, particularly neutral or monochrome schemes, where it can stand out without overpowering. It’s ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or even hallways, especially when paired with natural textures such as wood, linen, or metal. Practical styling tips include framing it within a light or darker wood to complement existing furniture, or grouping it with other monochromatic artwork for a modern gallery wall. Its understated tone makes it versatile and easy to incorporate into both casual and more curated settings.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
