This stunning 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle from Magnolia features one of the Argentine artist's most intricate and beautifully crafted works — a steampunk-Victorian portrait rendered in extraordinary fine-line detail that feels more like a master drawing than a painting, and rewards every single piece of the assembly with something new to discover.
Romi Lerda's Nostalgia is a departure from her signature bold acrylic palette — and the result is one of her most breathtaking works. Rendered primarily in fine, expressive linework with selective color applied in deep burgundy, forest green, warm gold, and rich brown, the composition has the quality of a beautifully hand-rendered Victorian illustration brought to vivid, selective life. A young woman in a richly detailed steampunk ensemble stands at center — her deep burgundy corset dress meticulously laced and buttoned, her elaborate upswept hair crowned with a wide-brimmed hat adorned with gears, goggles, a rose, feathers, and a miniature heart. Her large, luminous eyes gaze with quiet intensity, and a delicate freckled complexion gives her an intimate, almost porcelain quality. Beside her, a magnificently dignified cat in a black top hat and pink bow tie stares forward with piercing green eyes, a pocket watch charm at his chest — the most distinguished feline companion imaginable. Deep burgundy peonies and roses spill across the lower foreground, their lush petals rendered in extraordinary botanical detail. A bare winter tree hangs with ornate pendant lanterns at the left, a glowing antique lantern hangs at the right, and the sketched silhouette of a Gothic cityscape — spires and towers in soft pencil — fills the background with atmospheric depth. The combination of precise linework, selective color, and Victorian-steampunk imagery makes this Magnolia jigsaw one of Romi Lerda's most extraordinary and collectible works.
