This puzzle was a bit of a slog. A couple of years ago, I would have given up on it, but I am more patient these days.

It’s made by Flame Tree, which is not one of your high quality puzzle companies: there is not enough variation in piece shape (every internal piece has the same basic shape of two innies opposite one another and two outies opposite one another) and it’s less robust than I’d like. Normally I would steer clear of Flame Tree, but the painting is a good one, and it was helpful that the blue continuously varies across the painting.

Willing to trade it for a different one if you’re interested, though I’ve no doubt put you off.
