The Great Wave by Hokusai – 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Pomegranate)

Hokusai's wave rears over three low boats of rowers, its crest breaking into white claws of foam, the trough beneath it deep Prussian blue. Small and snow-capped in the gap between the swells sits Mount Fuji (the actual subject, since this comes from his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series of the 1830s).

The buff, near-empty sky across the top is the hard part; the foam and the printed linework give plenty to hold onto everywhere else. Finished size 68.6 x 45.7cm.
