1895 Orientalist watercolor / Help with ID

I got back yesterday from a trip down to Cincinnati, to drop off a bunch of paintings and prints at auction and do some antiquing. I picked up this nice watercolor for $40 and I was hoping I could get some help with the artist. I vaguely remember seeing a painting by this artist before. Was it on the forum? I believe it falls into the category of Orientalist painting. There looks to be a 95 under the signature, so I assuming 1895. I am guessing that someone that knows more about clothing than I do will be able to determine a region from the clothing on the man and decoration on the horse. Maybe Spain? Morocco? Thanks in advance for your help.

 

What a pretty little watercolor. I'd think Spain.

Gypsy woman begging in from of a cemetery gate. The hat appears to be a barretina.

Hum... So Frank Duveneck (1848-1919) was an artist and that's the address of his home and cultural center. Have you contacted them to see why an antique watercolor would be made available from there?

Apparently someone was running a frame shop there at one time, I found other paintings labeled with the same.

 

OK. Found that. "... now-closed framing shop..." in 2015. Sticker looks 1970s/1980s.

The church tower in the distance looks more Italian/Corsican to me. The barretina was also worn in parts of Italy, the islands of Italy and Malta, and on Corsica.

The woman isn't necessarily a Gypsy woman, could be just a young mother down on her luck. Not many Gypsies have fair hair.
The way her headscarf is wrapped around her neck is something you see in some costumes of Sardinia and Corsica.

 

Sardinia, these are white but I have also seen them in other colours:

 

Of course, it could be somewhere else. But, if Spain, that's likely what the scene would be.
