Waddingtons published this very rare and delightful puzzle in 1991. The title is The Ball on Shipboard, by the artist James Tissot. The original painting is held in the Tate Gallery, London.
Tissot became famous as a genre painter of fashionably dressed women shown in various scenes of everyday life.
The puzzle is like NEW, with all the pieces SEALED inside the original plastic bag. The box is in very good condition, with some shelf wear, and a very minor tear in a corner.
