Mentioned in: Die Familie Faesi, 1532-1932, Zürich 1932. The painting is mentioned in the family chronicle of the Faesi, in other spelling also Faesy, Fäsi or Fäsy; In here it says (page 33): "Weapons and pieces of uniforms from General Faesi are exhibited at the Swiss National Museum, Zurich. Colonel W. Faesy dedicated a book written in Russian to his life and actions. The author, a grand-nephew of the general and grand-son of the in Bessarabia residing lieutenant Faesi, was himself a Russian colonel of the combat engineers in the general staff and was cast away with his family to South America by the Bolshevik Revolution. There he reverently saved an oil painting of General Faesy, which depicts him charging a Caucasian village." [translation]We assume that General Hans Kaspar Faesi (1795-1848) is depicted at the bottom right on the ascending bay. At the age of only 37 years he became major general, more precisely he became czaristic commander of the 20th infantry division and distinguished himself especially in the Caucasus, that is in a former Chechen war.On June 24, 1836 general Faesi's father writes thereto: "...This disvison is still at daggers drawn, because it occupies the cis-caucasian line from the Black to the Caspian Sea and is not only supposed to bridle the unsettled wild Circassians, but to compel them into submission. ..."[translation]
