Portrait of a Girl

Very finely cut push-fit, or non-interlocking plywood puzzle of unknown origin, but which features a portrait painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Peiro del Pollaiuolo (c.1441-1496), entitled Portrait of a Girl, which is displayed in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milano.
The puzzle has been very accurately line-cut around the main subject, as well as around the hemlines of her dress. In many cases, the cut-lines of facial-study puzzles such as this look horribly out of place but this cutting, along with it's many directional changes has been very sympathetically carried out.
Many thanks to Dave Pollard for once again supplying details and pictures of such an interesting puzzle.
