He served in Poland (1794), Persia (1796), Switzerland (1799, under Rimsky-Korsakov) and the Battle of Austerlitz (1805). In 1813 he led an advance guard of Wittgenstein's Corps that captured Koenigsberg. In 1815 he became commander of the 2nd Hussar Division, but had to retire due to ill-health the following year. George Dawe (1781 - 1829) spent from 1819 to 1828 in St Petersburg, invited by Tsar Alexander to paint the portraits of the superior officers who had fought in the Napoleonic Wars. Over 300 of these are in the Hermitage Museum.
