GoAnywhere 160pc Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose DSC06100
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. 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. The rear shows the nice colour of the ply backing and the extensive deadend cutting detailing on the whimsies. The shaped edge certainly added to the difficulty for me.
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').
This was Piecefull's extract from Wikipedia:
"The painting depicts two small children dressed in white who are lighting paper lanterns as day turns to evening; they are in a garden strewn with pink roses, accents of yellow carnations and tall white lilies (possibly the Japanese mountain lily, Lilium auratum) behind them. The painting is dominated by green foliage, with no horizon or other horizontal line to give a sense of depth. The viewer seems to be on a level with the children but also looking down on them. The two subjects of the painting are the daughters of the illustrator Frederick Barnard – a friend of Sargent's. Dolly, left, was 11 years-old and Polly, right, 7 years-old; they were chosen for their blonde hair, replacing Sargent's original model, Francis Davis Millet's 5-year-old daughter, dark-haired Katherine. The title comes from the refrain of a popular song "Ye Shepherds Tell Me" by Joseph Mazzinghi, a pastoral glee for a trio of male voices, which mentions Flora wearing "A wreath around her head, around her head she wore, Carnation, lily, lily, rose."
