Price History
Description
An aristocratic, military-style portrait takes a whimsical turn with this intriguing canvas and its well-turned-out, characterful subject, Rupert. Presented in a dark wood-effect frame with an inner gold rim, this picture has been reproduced using the oleograph technique of texturing a print to resemble an oil painting. Have you thought about hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece because it adds a touch of personality and historical charm to a space. The Rupert canvas works particularly well in traditional or eclectic interiors, where it can serve as a statement piece that sparks conversation. It’s versatile enough to be styled above a sideboard, mantel, or even in a framed grouping with other artworks. For practical styling, consider pairing it with neutral or textured backgrounds to let the artwork stand out. Arranging it at eye level and ensuring it’s well-lit will maximise its impact. Whether in a living room, hallway, or study, this artwork brings a bold, characterful vibe that elevates the entire room.

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.
