Free Jigsaw Download - Girl With Coif

This is an image of a girl in a coif I have been carrying around for so long that it has become parted from its details - if anyone can identify it, I would be very grateful. I am indeed grateful to Inharket who has swiftly found this image for us. This detail is from Caspar Netscher's The Lace-Maker of 1662. It is oil on canvas and measures 33 x 27 cm and you can find it in the Wallace Collection in London. In fact, the Wallace Collection used to be one of my favourite lunch time haunts when I worked in London. You can send a postcard of this lacemaker (and other lovely paintings) to a friend, click here for more details from the Wallace Collection web-site.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy your free jigsaw download this week. However, sadly, this is not going to work for Mac users. Instructions: Click here next Click Open, then click the .EXE file name and click Run, when you see the jigsaw puzzle, click Play Too many pieces? Try clicking on Trays on the top tool bar to create any number of resizeable trays to sort your pieces ........ you can also click the Cheat button and watch the puzzle solve itself! The software is by David Gray designer of Jigsaws Galore - the powerful jigsaw player and creator for Windows.
