Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821)
Napoleon was roughly 5' 6". This is about 168 centimeters.
Many theories have been presented as to why Napoleon is traditionally depicted with his hand in his waistcoat.
The hidden hand was a feature of some statues of the ancient Greeks and Romans and that later painters based their poses on classical models.
The 'hand-held-in' was a common stance for men of breeding in portraits.

Just a quick side note. His hand is actually not in his pocket but inside his jacket holding his chest as he suffered from bad ulcers.
