Passing of the Seasons, The

Although this plywood jigsaw puzzle is boxed as part of the Artistic series of puzzles, it carries most of the cutting characteristics of a Super-Cut puzzle, with plentiful colour line-cutting and the 48 figural shaped pieces being placed within the colour line-cut sections, as opposed to the generally more even spacing of the regular Artistic puzzles.
The painting, by the Indian-born artist John Byam Liston Shaw, is a beautiful depiction, described in one of the artist's friends own words as “Autumn, with her train held by her maidens leads the old pilgrim year to the boat of Time. Mist rises from the water to touch young sensitive Love. We must recall the russet, red, orange and crimson that glowed from his canvas if we are to enjoy it to the full.”
