Description

Freud comments on the “etching showing me sitting at my desk”

ALS in German, signed “Freud,” one page, 5.75 x 8.75, personal letterhead, August 22, 1918. Letter to Hoda Klion, in full (translated): "Most likely, I shall be back in Vienna this year no sooner than by the middle of October. The time from September 1 until then, I expect to spend in Berlin. The etching showing me sitting at my desk was done by Max Pollak years ago.” Impressively mounted, cloth-matted, and framed to an overall size of 29.5 x 24. In very good to fine condition, with scattered overall creasing and a rubber stamp to lower blank area. Pollak’s well-known portrait etching of Freud, accomplished in 1914, shows the pioneering psychoanalyst at his desk surrounded by antiquities. A wonderful letter that ties together the arts and sciences. Oversized. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
