4. Proof reading?
3. Orientalist ?

Such paintings were a frequent subject for British 19th Century Orientalist painters . Odalisques in particular . They did however do other subjects such as market scenes .
2. I believe 'red gold' has a high percentage of copper to gold, but I don't know the ratio.
1. The Three Wise Men were said to be kings of Arabia, Tarsus and Ethiopia.

3. Perhaps just Odalisque style?
