Pieter Christoffel Wonder was born in 1777, not 1780. See catalogue Centraal Museum Utrecht 2015-2016.
And why Germany? Indeed he studied in Düsseldorf 1804-1805, but that's it.
The pictures were made in London, both your 4 sketches and the large picture in an English private collection, called Patrons and lovers of art.
