Compign, known to have signed his works Compignie as in the current examples, is best known for his exquisitely worked roundels with seaport compositions based upon paintings by Joseph Vernet (1714-1789). Another roundel with the same composition as the first example offered here is illustrated in 'Compign: Peintre et Tabletier du Roy, Villla Muse Fragonard', Exhibition Catalogue, June-July 1991, p. 69, no. 11. Two other roundels by Compign are to be offered in these Rooms from the Alexander Collection, 30 April 1999, lot 252.
