Price History
Description
'Coq' by Pablo Picasso. During the early 20th century, a number of artists including Pablo Picasso were influenced by the simple, stylised images produced by non-Western societies. As a result, Picasso produced a set of simplified animal drawings, including 'Le coq' (rooster), executed with unbroken lines. This archival giclee print has a cotton core mount in a handmade and hand-finished solid ash wood frame. Made in the UK by museum specialists and printed on heavyweight, matt-smooth fine art paper, it's ready to hang on your wall. Born in Malaga, Spain in 1881, Pablo Picasso is considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of his time. With fellow painter Georges Braque, he created Cubism. Picasso's prolific and renowned artworks, which he created for nearly 80 of his 91 years, helped define modern art in the 20th century. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this sketch because of its clean, minimalist style, which makes it versatile for a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in modern or contemporary spaces, where its simple black and white palette can provide a sophisticated focal point. It’s also great for adding a touch of artistic flair to a neutral colour scheme or paired with other black and white accessories. Practical styling tips include placing it alongside monochrome or neutral artwork for a cohesive look, or pairing it with natural textures like wood or linen to soften the starkness. It’s an effortless way to inject some creative energy into your scheme without overwhelming the space.

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.
