GoAnywhere 160pc Carnation Lily Lily Rose DSC06096

Feb 2024

For David Shearer's talk Anything But Square.

GoAnywhere had some interesting designs which were very advanced for their time.

This little puzzle made it into my shortlist of six GoAnywhere puzzles because of the pretty corner details and because this is a favourite painting. The shaped edge certainly added to the difficulty for me. 160pc, measuring only 6.5 x 7.5in, with six whimsies, it is laser-cut from plywood. This is quite a contrast to Grafika's 2000pc version, completed recently by Piecefull.

 

This is John Singer Sargent's 'Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose' of 1885-6 which is in the collection of Tate Britain (and also featured in the recent Sargent exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, jointly organised with the NY Met, 'Sargent Portraits of Artists and Friends').

 

The puzzle colours are a little on the green side - the original painting is very beautiful.
