Price History
Description
A framed print of 'Window-Sill, Lugano' in Switzerland, 1923, by Winifred Nicholson, from the Tate collection. Made in the UK exclusively for John Lewis. The black frame is made of solid ayous wood. Framed with a card mount and glass front, it arrives ready to hang on your wall. Winifred Nicholson (1893–1981) was a progressive British painter who developed a personal impressionistic style, concentrating on still life objects and landscapes. She often combined the two subjects, as seen in 'Window-Sill'. She had a lifelong fascination with rainbow and spectrum colours and in the 1970s made particularly strong and innovative use of these in her work. She painted prolifically throughout her life, at home and in Italy, Greece and Scotland. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love the simplicity and vibrant colour palette of this piece, making it a versatile addition to both modern and classic interiors. It works particularly well in kitchens, living rooms, or sunny breakfast areas where light and colour are key. For styling, try pairing it with neutral walls or layered with other artworks in coordinated frames to create a curated gallery wall. The 44 x 64cm size makes it ideal for above sideboards, mantels, or sofas without overwhelming the space. To keep the focus on the artwork, complement it with subtle decor items like plain ceramics or textured textiles, allowing the print to be a lively focal point without competing with other design elements.

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.
