Where can I find the Chinoiserie artwork Doug used in his "China Blue" bedroom (North Carolina: Southerby Dr)?

When asked about this Doug said, "That is very valuable info I keep dear to me for now. Sorry." So it looks like the only way to get the exact artwork Doug used is to hire him!

However, I've taken screencaps of this episode that show some of the details of Doug's mural. Fans have also put forth three theories about the origins of the mural:

• Inspired by the Chinoiserie pattern in the Blue Chinese Drawing Room in the Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.
• Inspired by the famous Blue Willow china pattern, which was in turn inspired by a Chinese legend. The mural does share some of the same elements: the pagoda, the dove, the bridge.
• Inspired by the artwork of Japanese woodblock artist Ando Hiroshige.
