A Little Girl and Her Sheltie by Burton Barber Jigsaw Puzzle
Charles Burton Barber's painting A Little Girl and Her Sheltie, also known as A Secret Place, was created in 1892 and exemplifies the artist's talent for depicting the bond between children and animals. Barber, a specialist in such scenes, painted this work during a period when he was frequently commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to create portraits of their grandchildren and pets. This piece captures a tender moment where the young girl, accompanied by her loyal Sheltie dog, is caught in the act of exploring a secret hiding place known only to her and the dog. The composition is rich in detail, reflecting the fashionable aesthetic of the time. The girl sits on a George II side chair, reaching into an oriental cabinet, while the room around her is adorned with exotic touches such as golden floral wallpaper, an intricately carved frame, a lavish Persian rug, and a dried palm leaf hanging above a framed landscape. The setting evokes an air of opulence and a fascination with Eastern decor, further enriching the painting's ambiance.
This piece, along with A Special Pleader (painted the following year), continues the story of the girl and her Sheltie, where, in the latter work, the secret hiding place is discovered, and the girl stands in shame as her dog pleads for her release from punishment.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.

I bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.
