Danaides John William Waterhouse Jigsaw Puzzle
This custom fine art jigsaw puzzle features a high-resolution, stunningly colourful reproduction of The Danaides by John William Waterhouse, oil on canvas, 1903. This classic Pre-Raphaelite painting depicts a procession of women carrying and pouring large urns of water into a basin from which water pours from the bottom. Waterhouse paints the scene with a near classical sense of low relief under a patina of deep, rich colour, particularly the deep ultramarine blue robes. The Danaides in classical mythology were the daughters of Danaus who were forced to marry the sons of Aegyptus, a mythical king of Egypt. The daughters rebelled, and as punishment, the gods condemned them to the underworld of Tartarus, where they eternally pour water into a perforated basin, a classical symbol of futility. The Waterhouse puzzle is a unique gift for any art lover or fan of Pre-Raphaelite painting.

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.

I like puzzles but can't commit to thousands of pieces. I chose this one in 110 pieces because I wanted a challenge that could be completed in a few hours. This one took approx 3.5 hours to complete. The image is pretty uniform throughout so may seem daunting but some of the jigsaw pieces are quite unique which helps. You definitely need a good eye for detail and this puzzle is challenging and engaging giving the satisfaction of completion after a relatively short commitment of time.
I do not like thousands of pieces because I don't have the time or motivation to keep going back to a puzzle which needs to be stored and moved and this can result in a loss of pieces.
The box the puzzle is supplied in is good quality and will store the puzzle safely for a long time. The box also fits on one of my small bookcase so storage is very easy. The puzzle print is slightly smaller than the image on the box and this makes orientation of the puzzle harder. The image is of really good quality though and I'm happy with the quality of this aspect.

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.
