Weird coincidence (and info request)

I found this photo on Twitter:



I immediately thought of a painting I did ages ago while in college. I copied it from a hardback edition of NY Metropolitan Museum catalog. (I painted several from it as practice.) I didn't intend this as an exact copy, but as a present f/ parents. My painting (photo is a bit washed out):




Now the request: I can't find that catalog, and I've forgotten the original artists name. The original is more rectangular than mine. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know.

I know he was keen on ship scapes (ships, ocean, with land and beach as frames for the scene).

Your painting has his style.

Just guessing...

But site claiming 'complete works' didn't have that one. I painted that in 70s, copied from original photo (about 2x3 inch pic). Just adjusted f/ more square canvas I already had ready.
