For two very similar examples, the ground color a slightly different shade but the cartouches of the same form and also painted with European harbor scenes and landscapes, see The Property of a Gentleman, Christie's, New York, 23 April 1998, lot 99; also 17-18 November 1999, lot 343 for a grass green-ground example painted in purple with flowers and from the same collection.
