From the base of the box:
"The Trio" by Sir William Russell Flint (1880-1969), a prolific landscape and figure painter in water colour and oil, etcher and illustrator. Born in Edinburgh, Flint was the son of a commercial artist. He studied at Daniel Stewart's College in Edinburgh and, at age 14, he was apprenticed to a firm of lithographers, where he stayed for five years. From the age of 15 he studied under Hodder at evening classes at the Royal Institution of Art.
Flint came to London in 1900 and was first employed to do medical drawings. He was later appointed to the staff of The Illustrated London News (1903-1907). During this time he studied at Heatherley's School in the evenings. He became interested in book illustration and his first work in this field was the illustration of Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines".
He painted in Holland with his younger brother, Robert Purves Flint, and visited Italy in 1912/13, at which time he took up etching, studying at Hammersmith School of Art. He also painted extensively in Scotland, France, Spain and Switzerland. 
Considered a very fine artist, Flint is best known for his paintings of semi-nudes and his many fine watercolours and landscapes.

Erroneously entitled "The Trio" (which is a completely different painting by the same artist), this is actually "Rhythm of the Ballet" from 1949, and shows a series of poses of the ballet dancer and actress Moira Shearer, inspired after Flint saw the ballet film "The Red Shoes" starring Miss Shearer.
This was a pleasant little (500pc) puzzle to assemble while Mike worked on an intriguing map jigsaw, which will of course be shown here in due course. Just the sort of subject I'd love to pick up as a wooden puzzle - at the right price - but the ones I've seen on eBay fetch higher prices than I'm prepared to pay.
