Seeking identification of a military uniform in a watercolor painting

score:5

It looks like a WWI Russian uniform. "Nisse" is probably "russe".

The sketched uniform is rather devoid of identification marks except for the cap. Look at Brusilov's field uniform for comparison (from Wikipedia):

Yeah the buttons don't match those (not) sketched.

But there was a lot variation; see the photo collection of Visser for instance

The OP didn't provide any details where that might have been sketched, but there was Russian expeditionary corps sent to France. The photo below is from when they disembarked in Marseille in 1916.
