MATLAB: Positioning bar and image in the same figure

MATLABplot

I'm trying to print an image above a bar plot in the same figure, manually changing their position using the set command with the OuterPosition option.
This works only if the vertical coordinate of the image is at least 0.42, in fact if it is below this value then the image disappears.
How can I place the image below 0.42?
subplot(2,1,1)
imshow( imread('https://i.imgur.com/TVlQhpj.jpg') )
set(gca, 'OuterPosition', [.3 .42 .4 .4]);
subplot(2,1,2)
bar(1:10)
set(gca, 'OuterPosition', [.3 0 .35 .23]);

Due to some reason, the subplot() command deletes the axes behind it. Also, as pointed out by Rik, you are setting the OuterPosition manually. It is better to use axes(). Although axes() also seems to delete the axes object behind it, so you need to hold() the axes. Try this
ax1 = axes();
imshow( imread('https://i.imgur.com/TVlQhpj.jpg') )
set(ax1, 'OuterPosition', [.3 .35 .4 .4]);
hold(ax1);
ax2 = axes();
bar(1:10)
set(ax2, 'OuterPosition', [.3 0 .35 .23]);
You can also avoid hold ing the axes if you pass OuterPosition directly to the axes call
ax1 = axes('OuterPosition', [.3 .35 .4 .4]);
imshow( imread('https://i.imgur.com/TVlQhpj.jpg') )
ax2 = axes('OuterPosition', [.3 0 .35 .23]);
bar(1:10)
