must be Cossacks in Paris by the looks of it. it is definately from the reign of Alexander I and it is said that the girls of Paris were very attracted by the Cossacks. also, the city in the background looks pretty huge, so i guess this picture shows Cossacks at leisure in Paris after its conquest by the Allies in 1814.
