Ceaco 'Weekend Retreat' 1000-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

This is a Ceaco brand 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle titled 'Weekend Retreat' (or 'Retraite Fin De Semaine' in French). The puzzle box features a vibrant, detailed image of a cozy cabin or lodge situated by a tranquil lake at sunset or twilight. The scene includes elements such as a small red canoe on the water, evergreen trees, possibly a deer near the lake, and birds flying in the dramatic sky with a full moon visible. The colors are rich, with warm oranges and yellows from the cabin's lights contrasting with the cooler blues and purples of the sky and water. The box is predominantly orange on the bottom border, where the piece count '1000 Pcs' is prominently displayed in white text, along with '1000 X'. The Ceaco logo, a stylized 'C' within an oval, is visible on the lower left corner of the orange band. On the right side of the orange band, there's a circular emblem indicating 'BONUS POSTER INCLUDED' (or 'AFFICHE BONUS INCLUSE'). The box itself appears to be made of standard cardboard packaging for puzzles, with a glossy finish on the printed surface. The overall condition of the box appears good with no significant visible damage or wear, suggesting it is either new, lightly used, or well-maintained. The puzzle is designed for entertainment and cognitive engagement. Its style is typical of scenic landscape puzzles, appealing to a broad audience who enjoys puzzles depicting calm and idyllic settings. The imagery suggests a contemporary style, likely produced in the last few decades. The included bonus poster is often a quality indicator, providing a larger reference image for assembly.
