Either the artist has taken a great deal of artistic license or the gallery has the wrong name. Sandy hook light is (and has been since it was built in 1764) octagonal, not round. The windows are aligned vertically and from the angle of the painting, four would be visible on one face and three in the face to its left. The light is also significantly slimmer than the painting.
