Maurice Cumbers - Rio San Barnaba, Venice

Maurice Cumbers (1907 - 1984), from Croydon, cut puzzles for his friends and family. This one nearly ended up on the bonfire because it had 3 pieces missing...

 

I can't figure out how you would cut a puzzle like this, but perhaps others can! Diagonal lines run from the corners, and from triangles at the top and bottom centre, to a large circle in the middle.

 

And others will certainly know more about the painting, which I think must be by Martin Rico (1833 - 1908), who painted in Paris and Venice as well as in his native Spain.
