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 16.25 mount, which is signed in German (translated), “That ugly face looks about right, Sigm. Freud, Tegel June 1930.” 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.
