Amateur rights. This freestyle with a copy of "Blue Wave by Aivazovsky. Only "Blue Wave" was in 1989, mistakenly published as a square (with the correct indication of size), so now roams around this square photo. But, obviously, what this picture is inspired by Aivazovsky Porohovnikova.

What kind of copy, no detail is identical.
Completely different ships to snap, rigging, etc. ..
Waves, clouds, everything is different.
 
And the plot with the slope of the ship and the waves - it is common and often occurs ..
