Hand-in-waistcoat : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hand-in-waistcoat
The hand-in-waistcoat (also referred to as hand-inside-vest, hand-in-jacket, hand-held-in, or hidden hand) was a gesture commonly found in portraiture during the 18th and 19th centuries. The pose appeared by the 1750s to indicate leadership in a calm and firm manner. The pose is most often associated with Napoleon I of France due to its use in several portraits made by his artist, Jacques-Louis David, amongst them the 1812 painting ''Napoleon in His Study''. The pose, thought of as being stately, was copied by other portrait painters across Europe and America. The majority of paintings and photographs show the right hand inserted into the waistcoat/jacket but some sitters appear with the left hand inserted. The pose was also frequently seen in mid-nineteenth century photography.〔Uwe Fleckner, "Napoleons Hand in der Weste: von der ethischen zur politischen Rhetorik einer Geste' (hand in the waistcoat: from the ethical to the political rhetoric of a gesture' ) ''Daidalos'' 64 (June 1997), 122-29 〕 ==Background== The pose traces back to classical times — Aeschines, founder of a rhetoric school, suggested that speaking with an arm outside one's toga was bad manners. Arline Meyer, in her essay "Re-Dressing Classical Statuary: The Eighteenth-Century 'Hand-in-Waistcoat' Portrait," notes the pose being used in eighteenth century British portraiture as a sign of the sitter's breeding. Francois Nivelon's ''A Book Of Genteel Behavior'' of 1738 noted the ''hand-inside-vest'' pose denoted "manly boldness tempered with modesty." There is no evidence that the hand-in-jacket pose had anything to do with ailments the sitter suffered from such as stomach ulcers or cancer.
