Description
Address him as 'Sir', if you please, or 'Monty' if you're on good terms. Sir Montague Barksalot is dressed to the nines in this portrait by artist Louise Brown. This print is unglazed with an artist's acrylic gel texture applied by hand. It has a classic black and gold-toned frame, ready to hang on our wall. Louise Brown is a self-taught artist based in rural Lincolnshire where she lives with her husband and two Lurcher dogs. Louise's love of animals is evident in her paintings and they capture the personality of the subject. Her work tends to be quirky and humorous with a loose and expressive painting style. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece because of its playful yet sophisticated vibe; it’s a great way to add personality to a room without overwhelming the space. The black/multi palette makes it easy to incorporate into various interiors, from modern minimalism to eclectic schemes. It works particularly well in living rooms or home offices, paired with neutral furnishings to make the artwork pop, or stepped into a more whimsical setting with colourful accents. Practical styling tips include keeping surrounding decor simple to let the print stand out, and perhaps framing it alongside other artwork in a gallery wall for a curated look. It’s a charming piece that brings character and a touch of humour to everyday spaces.

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.
