I need to crowd source my memory please. I need a picture for a background

Its French, I though it was Monet, but I can't find it.

It shows a garden and an artist painting a portrait of a lady. However the background is a big sea scene with loads of ships - sailing mostly.

Its quite well known but I can't find it

Help !

No not those - its a much bigger view of the sea and there are maybe 30 - 40 ships in it.

Do you know the style, is it Impressionist for example?

I am sure its a manet.

If it isn't then its a very similar style

Can you sketch it a bit so we have some perspective?

Please point out the artist painting a lady, as you originally described.

I think it is Monet in the chair under the hat, but indeed, my imperfect recollection was that he was painting.

It’s quite low res, because I am sure there are dolphins in the original
