Responds to Alessandro Cecchi's article "A new drawing by Filippino Lippi in the Louvre" in Burlington magazine, 1994, 136, no 1095 (June). Christiansen argues that the Study of a Male Figure (Paris, Louvre) is not a theatrical costume study, but a defamatory image of an impiccato, or political outlaw, shown hanging by one foot to signify his banishment rather than execution by hanging. Christiansen compares the Louvre drawing to other such images in Italian art 1440-1530, but arrives at no conclusions as to the attribution and dating of this piece.
