MB produced this little gem in 1974, belonging to their Collection series, which means the puzzle is already 50 years old. The title in the box is The Card Players, by David Teniers the Younger. However, the complete title of the painting is Card Party at an Inn.
The puzzle is COMPLETE (1540 pieces). The pieces are in very good condition. They have dust on the layer of wax that often appears on these old puzzles by MB. It can be removed easily with the fingers while you assemble the puzzle, although it will take extra time. Otherwise, the pieces would be in excellent condition. The box is in very good condition, with some shelf wear.
There are not many puzzles with paintings by David Teniers the Younger. One of them is the 2000 pieces version by Hope of The Archduke Leopold William in his Brussels Gallery.
