Ranee

Small and fiendishly challenging wooden jigsaw puzzle, thought to be of c1930's vintage and featuring a non-interlocking cutting style with widespread colour line-cutting. Whilst I have not been able to decipher the artist signature, I do wonder whether the painting may be by the artist William Stephen Coleman, under a pseudonym, as the initials are written in a very similar hand and the subject is very much in his style. See this Pears Print signature to make the comparison.
