    Why is Napoleon often pictured with his hand inside his shirt?

    Question #112653. Asked by unclerick. (Feb 05 10 7:21 PM)

    		Lots of suggestions, but nobody knows for sure. This site suggests that it was used by David (in his portrait that is often used and more often imitated) to indicate that Napoleon was a man of breeding, an established portraiture symbolism of the time.
