Marvelous vintage matte-finish 6 x 8.5 photo of Sigmund Freud in a distinguished bust-length pose, affixed to the original 12.5 x 16.75 mount, which is signed in German (translated), “That ugly face looks about right, Sigm. Freud, Tegel June 1930.” Archivally matted and framed to an overall size of 17.75 x 20.75. In fine condition, with scattered light staining to the mount. An exceptional display piece boasting a rather opaque inscription, one that could be interpreted as being an uncommon example of Freudian self-deprecation, or perhaps as a reference to the photo's 'out of focus quality' and the studio’s ‘ugly’ product.
