Sizing Chart

Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted Netherlandish Proverbs in 1559, filling every corner of the canvas with over a hundred illustrated folk sayings in a witty and encyclopedic vision of Flemish life. Now at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, it is one of the great treasures of Northern Renaissance art.

This hand-cut wooden jigsaw puzzle from Elms Puzzles is made to order by our artisans on a scroll saw and finished by hand in our workshop. Available in multiple sizes, it makes an extraordinary gift for adults who love Bruegel and heirloom-quality handcrafted wooden puzzles. Museum-worthy art, handcrafted into a puzzle unlike any other.
