Description
A framed print of 'Farm Buildings in Provence', 1934, by Sine Mackinnon, from the Tate collection. Made in the UK exclusively for John Lewis & Partners. The black frame is made of FSC-certified solid ayous wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests. Framed with a card mount and glass front, it arrives ready to hang on your wall. Irish landscape artist Selina Mairi Sine Mac Kinnon (1901-1996) studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, where her mentor was Henry Tonks. She exhibited twice in Paris in the 1920s and saw 29 paintings exhibited at the Fine Art Society in London in 1929. The Tate Gallery purchased Farm Buildings in Provence in 1940. By 1949 she had works in many prestigious galleries in the UK and Europe. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print because it brings a touch of rustic charm and a sense of calm to any space. It works particularly well in country-inspired or neutral interiors, adding warmth and character without overwhelming the room. The size makes it versatile for above a sofa or sideboard, while the black frame gives it a contemporary edge that can tie into other darker accents in the room. Practical styling tips include pairing it with natural textures like linen cushions or wicker accessories, and keeping surrounding colours soft and muted to let the artwork stand out. It’s a subtle but impactful piece that injects a hint of Provençal charm into your decor.

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.
