Description
This beautiful landscape by artist Jacky Al-Samarraie depicts a trio of horses serenely grazing on an isolated hilltop. With its simple composition and rustic colour palette, this delightful digital print is ideal if you're looking to bring a sense of nature and the outdoors into a living space. This image comes presented in a black wooden frame that ideally suits the colour scheme of the image within. Jacky Al-Samarraie uses uncomplicated images, sourced from the British countryside, and adds graphic bright blocks of colour to create an eye-catching design. She developed this style during her degree and created The Art Room company in 2007. Her bold landscape images can now be seen on cards, mugs and prints. Al-Samarraie didn't start life as an artist, she originally pursued a career in Social Services. It wasn't until her children grew up that she went back to develop her creative skills; receiving a first honours degree in Graphic Media Communication from Bradford College of Art Design & Textiles.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its simplicity and calming palette, making it a versatile addition to many interiors. The "Horses On A Hill" print works particularly well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even a hallway where it can add a touch of tranquillity. Its widescreen format lends itself to a contemporary or minimalist scheme, especially when paired with neutral or earthy tones. For styling, consider framing it alongside other outdoor or nature-inspired artworks for a cohesive look, or keep it as a standalone statement piece against a plain wall. Placing it above a sideboard or sofa can help to anchor the space, and layering with tactile accessories like textured cushions or throws can help create a relaxed, inviting feel.

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.
