No their F&IW range are smaller. They fit in fine alongside most C18th stuff I have. Foundry, Front Rank, Outpost etc. they would be fine for your C18th games of pirates, Indostan etc. ;D

I is confusdeded.  You call the figure a Mulato.  Is that his name?  Or his parentage?  If the former, fine.  If the latter, foul.  He is clearly of asiatic heritage, Chineese by appearance.  That would not qualify as a mulatto. Mulatto is a white and black ancestral mix. Not sure of any specific usage to identify if the figure is of mixed parentage between white and asian.  Perhaps your intent is to use mulatto in that manner?  But then, you capitalize and use only one 't' so, again, maybe the name?  Or maybe one parent was mulatto and the other asian?   o_o

 But I agree, lovely painting.

The character is taken from a novel written around 1911 when the term was i believe also used in a negative way to describe any mixed race individual. In the book I think he is actually a South Seas islander, but one of the films shows him as Asian. so that's my interpretation. :)

Mulato derives from Spanish meaning mixed Breed so can also be spelt with one L. :)
