Anyone have any idea what Venetian Stradiots would look like, circa 1690?

By this date there were amalgamated with other Dalmatians and Croats troops, sometimes referred as Cimariotti or Cappeletti or simply Croats.
They would look like any Balkan figures of that time.
Donnington has a some figures if you dig trough Polish, Ottomans and Austrian ranges of the Warfare in the 17th c.
On the subject of the list I found missing some troops type
A guard unit like Veneto Real which could be at least superior 0-6
and Venetian Marines which where much of use in the Morea War 1684-89, these were not navy marines but specifically army units (Fanti del Mar) used to amphibious landing ahead of the main army.
The Navy was also a major factor in this War, having being their superiority towards the Ottoman to have inspired the campaign.
Artillery from the Navy was renowned for its efficiency.
A quite colorful army if depicting the invasion of Morea and conquest of Athens since it was like a League of Nations

Commanders: Francesco Morosini CinC
Von Konigsmarck (Sweden)
Max Wilhelm ( Brunswick)
Hannover 2400 troops
Saxon 3500 tropps
Brunswich, Hassel Kassell 1000 troops
Papal States 400 troops
Granduchy of Tuscany 400 troops
Knight of Malta 400 troops
Schiavoni 1200 troops
Venetian 2000 troops and 5 dragoon squadrons
Milano 2000 troops plus 5 dragoon squadrons
On the fleet Venetian Marines 2000-1500 troops
6 light artillery guns
a large siege train
2 mortars
Dont know about Cavarly even if Venice at the time had 2 regiments of Curassiers of roughly 1000 men from Veneto region of Italy
Schiavoni must have included some light Cavarly
