Quiet arrangements
Still Life
Flowers past their best, fruit and silver and the slow drama of a tabletop, from Dutch pronkstilleven to the hush of a single flower piece. Small worlds, lovingly lit.
As a puzzle
The classic good-puzzle subject. Dense detail and strong contrast against dark grounds give the eye plenty to grab, though those dark grounds are the hard bit.
A good size here: 60–250 pieces.
