Educa manufactured this beautiful puzzle in 2008. It is a fragment of Las Meninas, which is probably the most famous painting by Diego Velázquez. It is very rare and difficult to find, although in Spain these puzzles still appear every now and then.
The original painting is one of the main masterpieces at the Prado Museum in Madrid, together with many other paintings by Velázquez. For that reason, people usually crowd in the room where the painting remains in the Museum.
Educa has published some other magnificent large jigsaw puzzles by Velázquez, which is probably the most famous Spanish artist, and these puzzles are part of the wish lists of many collectors. That’s surely why they are so difficult to find. There are two 10000 piece versions of The Surrender of Breda and Las Hilanderas.
This puzzle is COMPLETE, as you can see in the photograph of the puzzle assembled. The pieces and the box are in excellent condition.
There are similar versions of this puzzle, like a 1000 piece version by Clementoni, and a 1500 piece version by Diset. However, the best copy is the 6000 piece version, also by Educa.
