    Look like Sikh military, India, 19th century.

    Nice gouaches, kard.
    The first one looks classic Sikh, beautiful. But the last one doesn't look very Sikh, more like a British officer in a turban. I don't know if that happened? Or maybe someone "gone native", as they used to say?

    They remind me of illustrations done by costume designers for theatrical productions.

    Frames don't do them any favors.
