This miniature depicts Matvei Ivanovich Platov, the legendary commander of the Don Cossack Host, who played a decisive role in the defense of Russia during the Patriotic War of 1812 against Napoleon. Renowned for his strategic brilliance, swift cavalry raids, and mastery of irregular warfare, Platov became one of the most iconic military leaders of the Russian Empire.
Dressed in traditional Cossack attire and bearing the confident posture of command, this figure captures Platov’s presence as a national hero and symbol of Cossack valor.
The miniature is cast in high-quality white metal (tin) and finished with professional hand-painting, featuring layered shading, fine highlight work, and carefully rendered facial detail. Mounted on a display-ready scenic base, this piece is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Napoleonic history.
