The puzzle's picture is a Monet painting. The indistinct style of Impressionist paintings makes for an interesting and challenging puzzle.
Don't plan on fitting this one together in the same time it would take you to do one of something photographed.

The pieces are sturdy and cut to provide sure fitting. (I found no ambiguous situations where a piece could be easily put in the wrong place.)

A challenge of more than moderate difficulty. The subtle colors and lack of texture variation increased the difficulty. A larger poster would have helped more than the box lid. The pieces are well made, and included a variety of shapes that fit well. One was missing.

The painting itself seemed insipid when finished; in my opinion, it is of the type best viewed from a distance and therefore questionable as a puzzle. The historical context on the box about the painting and artist added depth to the experience.

I love Monet and puzzles so this was a good find. Good quality and comes in a really nice, sturdy box. Keep in mind this is for people who enjoy a challenge, as the puzzle is harder since most of the pieces are similar colors.
