3000 Ravensburger "The Sabine Women"
This is another one of my favorites, but I almost never finished it. After completing about half of this puzzle, I got extremely frustrated and left it (and puzzling altogether) for over 6 months. One day I decided I was going to finish it one way or another and started working on it again. I guess the break helped since it only took me a couple weeks to finish. I am a notoriously slow puzzler, so this was at least for me making good time.
I was fortunate enough to see the original painting in the Louvre. I thought David's masterwork far exceeded DaVinci's vastly more popular Mona Lisa. I just love classical French Paintings.
I only learned that Ravensburger produced this puzzle in a 5000 piece format after completing this puzzle. Now I am torn if I should buy it if it ever comes up for sale on Ebay. I do think, at least by looking at the colors on the box, that the 5000 puzzle has richer colors. The 3000 is very brown and muted.
