What you have provided is a picture of a Hussar. Now a Hussar is a specific type of light cavalry that is used to mop up stragglers in battle, scout for armies/corps, and seduce women (as a Hussar was seen as highly attractive). The jacket hung over the shoulder is called a Pelisse and only worn by a Hussar.
