Pieter Bruegel the Elder - The Census at Bethlehem, 1566 - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Bluebird)

Bruegel sets the census in a Flemish village in deep winter and lets the biblical part get lost in it. There is a crowd pressed round the inn window on the left where the clerk is writing, carts and barrels being hauled across the frozen river, children on the ice, a pig being butchered, and Mary on a donkey somewhere in the middle of it that most people miss.

A wide pale snowfield carrying dozens of small dark figures. Finished size 69 x 48cm.
