I'm wondering if it some sort of signal, his other hand is holding his belt weirdly, so maybe something like a gang sign that his contemporaries would understand? That or that painter wanted hum reaching for his dagger, but got the arm position wrong?
It's not the hand I'm worried about, it's the wrist! I wish I knew what painting this is from, I really want to see everyone else, and what's going on with their hands.

Wonder no further, this MF can't paint hands
