Re: Name that historical figure!
To be honest I had a look at the Walhalla memorial listBut I knew he must have been from the 18th or 19th century and the uniform is British/Hannoverian. Therefore I think he is Count Wilhelm of Schaumburg- Lippe, a general from the Seven Year's War.
"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."
Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 7, 112

That is General Nikolay Raevski from the Napoleonic wars (as in the Raevski redoubt). Which reminds of the victory celebration of the Battle of Borodino that the Russian tsars hosted several times (and perhaps even more recently by the Soviet Union).
