Maternité

This 1200 piece plywood puzzle features many of the finest traits of this top-class manufacturer, clearly drawing influences from other French makers such as Vera. These include colour line-cutting throughout, coupled with the use of an interlocking border to retain the push-fit pieces and employing the clever technique of cutting pieces in shapes sympathetic to their surroundings. See the more linear shapes in the woman's hair and the folds of her shawl, set against the more uniformly-shaped pieces in the blue-green background.
The painting from Picasso (1905), is in a private collection and represents a very good example of Picasso's période rose.
Many thanks to Jacques Vélu for re-assembling and photographing this wonderful puzzle which was bought new in the late 1970's.
