If this is a joke about an admiral with his arm held in this way Bill has it wrong. It was Admiral Horatio Nelson who lost his right arm. In July 1797 Nelson led a doomed assault on the Spanish island of Tenerife in which he was hit in the right arm by a musket ball shortly after stepping ashore. Bleeding heavily, he was taken back to HMS Theseus, where the injured limb was amputated. Nelson defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Actually it is speculated he had Linitis Plastica, a cancer of the stomach [also called Brinton’s disease or leather bottle stomach] He’s probably holding his stomach in pain.

I always thought the hand in the vest was because Jacques-Louis David could not paint hands.
