Puzzlewood no774 417pc The Danaides John William Waterhouse 16pt5x11pt8in Mixed Cut 3D-enhanced DSC02907
A favourite painting that a friend commissioned from Heather Prydderch. She cut it in mixed style - push-fit & interlocking - with 3D-enhancement (3 thicknesses).
Once the coloured areas were built the foreground came together quite quickly - but the background was slow. A really enjoyable build.
Unfortunately some of the pieces had stuck together resulting in white specs when prised apart - but still a fabulous jigsaw that I really enjoyed doing.

In Greek mythology, the Danaïdes (Danaides or Danaids), were the fifty daughters of Danaus, king of Libya. (In the Metamorphoses, Ovid refers to them as the Belides after their grandfather Belus.) They were to marry the 50 sons of Danaus' twin brother Aegyptus, a mythical king of Egypt. Danaus and his daughters left home to settle in Argos to avoid the match, but Aegyptus and the sons followed them and forced them to capitulate. In the most common version of the myth, all but one of the daughters killed their husbands on their wedding night, on their father's instructions, and were condemned to spend eternity carrying water in a sieve or perforated device. In the classical tradition, they came to represent the futility of a repetitive task that can never be completed (see also Sisyphus and Ocnus).
