The Reader (Jean-Étienne Liotard) Jigsaw Puzzle
Puzzle Description
This online jigsaw puzzle is based on an exquisite pastel portrait by the Swiss artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, painted in 1746. The painting depicts the artist's niece, Marianne Lavergne, engrossed in reading a letter or a sheet of paper. The girl is seated on a wooden chair, dressed in an elegant 18th-century gown with blue patterned silk, a grey-brown bodice with red lacing, and white lace cuffs. The soft, neutral background and delicate pastel style give the portrait a special lightness and realism. This puzzle will appeal to fans of classical portrait painting and Rococo art. Choose your difficulty level and start assembling.
