Indiaman, French paint scheme?

[Brigand]

Please forgive me for dropping in on the French section of the forums with an English post.
 
Some time ago, I posted a topic in the shipyards section about an indiaman 'prince of wales' (1740). However, there seems to have been no ship by this name at the time. Looking at her again today, her paint scheme reminded me of the colours used in France.

Does anyone here know if this was by any chance a French ship, which was been decorated with an English name on her stern (by the model maker)?

I would love to find some plans for her.

 

Cordialement,

This boat is not French design. There are a lot of very different details with a French ship.

Here is a French cargo ship 1730

It really is not the same type of boat.
