Monet Water Lilies 1916 Jigsaw Puzzle

While I do think this is a bit small, it IS a challenging puzzle and perfect for my friend who has to stay indoors during this Covid 19 epidemic! Takes her mind off of the social distancing and it's a pretty picture when it's finished! The picture is very pretty - a nice copy of Monet's Water Lilies!

I purchased 3 puzzles. The pieces are a nice size and variety of shapes. They are beautifully done on a foam type base vs cardboard and have a lovely gloss finish. I expected these puzzles to be challenging due to the content of the reproduced paintings as the subject. My only issue is that the photo on the box is a 3.5’ x 4’ picture. I initially thought perhaps there would be a larger photo inside the box, but there was not. This tiny photo provides very little fine detail that would assist in identifying color and pattern details when working these. I am on my 2nd puzzle and find it so difficult that it is almost not fun or worth the time and frustration. Please enclose a larger, easier to see photo guide! Beautiful reproduction!

I bought this jigsaw in 252 pieces because I originally bought it in 110 pieces. I found it a bit of a leap in terms of time commitment as this one took me approx 5 hours. It was definitely challenging and was on my boundary of tolerance. This is because I like to complete a puzzle in just a few hours. I find thousands of pieces tedious and having to store them leads to lostvpieces. I can never commit Diego busy lifestyle and not knowing when I will find the time and or motivation to go back to a puzzle. The puzzle comes in a really durable gift box that will keep puzzle secure for a long time. It also fits neatly on to a small bookcase for storage. The image was centrally fixed with no border lines,it was also very good quality image.
