hand-in-waistcoat (also referred to as hand-in-vest , hand in jacket , hand-held , or hidden hands ) are the cues commonly found in portraits during the 18th and 19th centuries. The pose emerged in the 1750s to show leadership in a calm and assertive way. This pose is most often associated with Napoleon I of France because of its use in several portraits made by his artist Jacques-Louis David, among them the paintings of 1812 Napoleon in His Study . The poses, regarded as magnificent, were copied by other portrait painters across Europe and America. Most paintings and photographs show the right hand inserted into the vest/jacket but some nannies appear with the left hand inserted. The pose is also often seen in the mid-nineteenth century photography.

This pose traces back to classical times - Aeschines, founder of the school of rhetoric, suggests that talking to an arm outside a person's toga is bad behavior. Arline Meyer, in his essay "Statues of Classical Re-Dressing: Portrait of" Hand-in-Waistcoat "from the 18th Century," notes that this pose is used in 18th century English portraits as a sign of breeding of caregivers. The Francois Nivelon The Soft Behavior Book of 1738 recorded a hand-in-vest pose symbolized as "femininity forged with simplicity."

Appearance in photography
With the invention of photography, the pose continues but may have an additional purpose in preventing the escape by maintaining the nanny's hand in one place. This pose is usually seen in photographs of military personnel, with a number of photographs of the American Civil War showing the pose, or shown by three open buttons on the tunic.
