Description
A digital print of the 1930 painting Coming from the Mill by British painter LS Lowry. It depicts a characteristic scene, one where Lowry has sourced the image from his imagination, combining real buildings with fictitious detail. The print is presented in a black hand-stained solid ash wood frame that gives this classic image a suitably contemporary feel and perfectly complements the artist's chosen colour scheme. Laurence Stephen Lowry was born in Stretford, Lancashire, in 1887. He began to draw at the age of 8 and at 15 began attending private painting classes. On leaving school in 1904, Lowry began work in Manchester as a clerk with a firm of chartered accountants. He studied painting and drawing in the evenings at the Municipal College of Art (1905-15) and at Salford School of Art (1915-25). Despite his unusually long period as an art student, Lowry considered himself to be a self-taught artist. Lowry is best known for his paintings of industrial landscapes of the north of England.
Our Stylist Says
This Lowry print really brings a touch of industrial nostalgia and character to any space. I love it for its nostalgic charm and the way it captures everyday life with a sense of honesty. It works particularly well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, especially when paired with neutral and monochrome settings, as it can serve as a striking focal point. For practical styling, consider placing it above a sideboard or console table, and complement it with minimalist accessories to let the artwork stand out. Its size makes it versatile for both smaller spaces like a study or hallway, or as a statement piece in a living room. Framed simply, as here, it maintains a clean, timeless feel that can easily adapt as your interior evolves.

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.
