Price History
Description
'Farm at Watendlathe', 1921, by Dora Carrington, from the Tate collection. Made in the UK exclusively for John Lewis. 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. The original painting depicts a farm near Keswick in the Lake District, where the newly wed Dora Carrington spent a summer holiday with her husband and their friends. Critics have suggested that the landscape was distorted to reflect the curves of the female body. The two small figures gaze towards the landscape, possibly contemplating their own femininity. Dora Carrington was part of a successful generation of graduates from the Slade School of Art in the early 20th century. She was associated with the Bloomsbury Group of writers and artists, particularly the writer Lytton Strachey. The group lived, worked and studied together in London. Writer and wit Dorothy Parker is believed to have said of the Bloomsbury Group that they lived in squares, painted in circles and loved in triangles. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
The John Lewis + Tate Dora Carrington 'Farm at Watendlath' print is a charming piece that adds a touch of understated sophistication to any interior. Its size works well as a focal point above a sofa or fireplace, especially in living rooms or studies with a more relaxed, traditional, or eclectic style. The wood frame and clean mount make it versatile, pairing effortlessly with both contemporary and vintage furnishings. For styling tips, consider choosing complementary colours within the artwork-such as soft greens or earthy tones-and pairing it with natural textures like linen cushions or wooden accessories to create a cosy, curated look. It’s an approachable piece that brings a narrative element to your space without overwhelming it.

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.
