Untitled - Man and woman with a Horse

The box label has no title or size, just 'over 250 pieces'. It has been possible to identify the artist as Otto Nowak but not the name of the painting portrayed. This shows what appears to be a wild west scene with an armed man protecting a woman and a saddled horse in the background. If anyone can identify the title then please can they contact the administrator.

The box base has a number JE42 which matches the pencilled number on a corner piece (illustrated) indicating that the puzzle is in the correct box. There is also a pencilled date of January 31st 1910 by the QC label consistent with the period this type of box was in use.

The puzzle is semi-interlocking with line cutting round the main features and there are many shaped pieces, some as letters of the alphabet. All pieces fit close together so they must have been skilfully cut using a very thin saw-blade.
