Assumptions:

1. You're writing a stylesheet, and the URL to the image is contained in the XML
document to be processed, enclosed in an <url> element which is contained in a
<headerimage> element which is contained in a <header> element which is a child
of the current node, and all these elements have no siblings of the same name.
(;-)).

2. You're using an old XSL FO version (1999-04-21) - either FOP version 13.0 or
earlier, or XEP.

Then, the syntax would be:

<fo:table-cell padding-left="7cm">
  <fo:block>
    <fo:inline-graphic height="3cm" width="3cm"
                 href="{header/headerimage/url}"/>
  </fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

By the way: in XSL FO 1999-04-21, you could use a fo:display-image (which is a
block-level element), inserting it directly into an fo:table cell without an
intercalary fo:block:

<fo:table-cell padding-left="7cm">
    <fo:display-graphic height="3cm" width="3cm"
                 href="{header/headerimage/url}"/>
</fo:table-cell>
