It is most probably an imaginary scene by the British war artist, with the idea to appreciate Indian soldiers for their subservience and loyalty to the British raj, and to disrespect those who had risen against them. It is very noticeable that Pashtun freedom fighter is drawn with looks of a villain. He looks as of he is possessed by evil demons. 

The above painting could be inspiration from an earliar imaginary painting made during Second Anglo-Afghan War : https://historyofpashtuns.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-story-of-two-paintings.html

According to the original caption, the sawar belongs to 13th Bengal lancers which in 1897 was 38% Sikhs, 25% Punjabi Muslim, 25% Dogra and 12% Pathan. It was commanded by Sher Singh (a Sikh) in 1897.
