Description
A gentle sea breeze drifting in through an open window flutters the pages of a book in this relaxing print by Karen Hollingsworth. A serene image that's sure to add atmosphere to any room. Made in the UK, it's mounted and presented in a gloss white frame, ready to hang on your wall. Atlanta-based artist Karen Hollingsworth captures evocative 'windowscapes' in her delicate oil paintings. Focusing on minimal subject matter set against interior spaces, her work depicts common objects of everyday life in order to evoke a sense of the familiar. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
The 'Gentle Reader' print offers a calming, contemporary aesthetic with its soothing blue and multi-tone palette, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or even a study. Its generous size (83 x 83cm) allows it to become a focal point on a feature wall, especially when paired with minimalist or neutral décor. I love how it brings a touch of tranquility and a subtle pop of colour without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple furnishings -think white or light wood frames for a cohesive look- or grouping with other artwork in a gallery wall. It works particularly well in light-filled rooms, where the natural light enhances the colour tones and details of the print.

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.
