This is an excellent puzzle by Clementoni. The title is The Birth of Venus, by Sandro Botticelli. He is one of the most important artist of the Renaissance. Consequently, many of his works are available as puzzles.
The puzzle is NEW, with its original FACTORY SEAL. There are some tears in the seal, as you can see on the pictures. Also there is a tear of about 2.5 cm on the cardboard under the seal.
Together with The Birth of Venus, the most famous painting by Botticelli is probably the Allegory of Spring, which several puzzle brands have published. The most important one is the 6000 piece version by Schmidt, although there are smaller versions.
There is another 4000 piece version of The Birth of Venus by Educa, with a very distinctive burgundy frame. And there is even a similar 4000 piece version also by Clementoni, but in a black box and with a different reference number.
