Aermacchi MB-339 on the flightdeck of the USS Intrepid, the fantastic sea, air and space museum at Pier 86 on Manhattan's West Side in New York City. The red, white and blue banners were for "Fleet Week" which took place the week after this picture was taken.
According to the website of Harvard Art Museum where this painting can be seen, the original title is Spring bouquet. It was painted in 1866 (Renoir was only 25 ys old). The painting demonstrates Renoir’s development as an artist. Instead of applying the paint with a palette knife Renoir adopted a freer and thinner stroke using solely a brush.
I found the puzzle difficult, it took longer than an average 2000 piece puzzle. The quality of the puzzle is good, however it's quite old and worn (on many knobs it seems the image is rubbed and white patches of paper are visible throughout the whole puzzle). The 1540 puzzles pieces took 25 h 27 min to complete 60,5 pieces/hours and 59,5 s/piece.
