I have recently been researching and writing articles for Wikipedia on operas by composer Vincenzo Bellini from the 1820s to 1835. Therefore, I'm interested in Sanquirico's work as a designer of sets for the La Scala opera house in Milan whch is where his opera, "La Straniera" ("The Stranger Woman") was performed on 14 February 1829.
If you look at the synopsis in the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_straniera you'll find the setting of Act 1, Scene 2 described as "La straniera's cabin". That is more of less the translation of the caption on your artwork, "The interior of the (Cabin) of the Stranger."
So, if the work really is by Sanquirico, it is most likely from that opera. He designed all sorts of amazing sets including one whch you can see online for an opera by Pacini called "The Last Days of Pompeii". The Wiki article on him is not great, but I plan to do a bit more research - whoch is how I discovered your posting. Hope it helps. Viva-Verdi!
Some artwork really requires a a physical "Out of the Frame" inspection, particularly with prints of all types, as the work of well known artists have been extensively reproduced during the 20th Century.
