JIGSAW PUZZLE: the entire image is cut into clearly defined interlocking jigsaw puzzle pieces, a regular grid of roughly twelve columns by sixteen rows of classic puzzle shapes with round knobs and matching sockets, every piece outlined by deep dark visible grooves and thin gaps between pieces, bright highlights on each piece's raised edge and soft shadows in the seams, the puzzle grid covering the whole picture edge to edge including the face, hair and background. Three pieces are missing from the lower area, showing the bare wooden table through the holes, and those loose pieces lie scattered on the table at the bottom edge of the frame, tilted, with cardboard thickness and grey cardboard backs visible. Shot straight down from above, warm lamplight, matte cardboard print texture. The printed picture on the puzzle is a hand-drawn Art Nouveau fantasy illustration with ink linework and gouache washes and an ornate arched border: an ethereal celestial maiden with flowing sapphire-blue hair threaded with roses and pastel silk ribbons, luminous violet eyes, an anime-inspired face, navy and ivory ceremonial attire with gold filigree and gemstones, floating brass orreries, armillary rings, crystal spheres holding miniature galaxies, flowers growing through clockwork, cobalt and blush-pink stained-glass windows behind her, pastel pink, deep cobalt, lavender, ivory and gold palette, every inch decorated. The puzzle cut lines must be obvious and fill the entire image. No smooth uncut areas, no text, no watermark, no logo, no hands in frame.
