Except for the 2 missing pieces, I would have rated it excellent on all counts. It was a challenging and fun puzzle.
Fun puzzle. Interesting to do with the separate components: floor, man, painting. The picture of the painting is sharp enough, that you can tell exactly where each piece belongs.
Completing the outside edges and the central figure of the gentleman went surprisingly fast. Can't say the same for the abstract painting he's admiring! That was difficult, to say the least.
I've put this one together numerous times. I like puzzles with defined borders and with the man standing in the center of the picture it is not as difficult as it appears to be.
Really fun puzzle to do!
the paint splatter painting was hard, not going to lie. Fun if you like a challenge, though. Quite a contrast in speed putting together the edges and the guy (fast) and then the painting (very very slow)
This is my 5th puzzzle and so far the most difficult one, but all the same quite enjoyable! It was well worth the time.
Great puzzle (nice graphic, well cut pieces) but truly challenging. Creating the frame and the Connoisseur is a breeze, but filling in the painting is a slow process; We will finish it just for the pride of completing such a cool puzzle, but it feels more like work than play. It's like skiing a double black diamond.
