This is a very rare puzzle by Egel. The title is The Battle of the Sound with the Eendracht Engaging Two Swedish Warships, 1658. The painting was initially attributed to Peter van de Velde, which is the name that appears on the box. However, scholars cannot confirm today that he was the artist, so it remains anonymous for now. You can admire the original painting at the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam.
The puzzle is COMPLETE, as you can see in the photograph with the puzzle assembled. The pieces are in good condition. The box is in very good condition, with some minor shelf wear.
Another puzzle in the same series by Egel is the 247 piece version of The Naval Battle at Kijkduin, August 21, 1673, by Willem van de Velde the Younger.
