The well-known portrait of Freud taken by the Austro-Hungarian photographer László Willinger: a very attractive print in excellent condition. Willinger, who has been barred from any professional activity in Germany in 1933, worked for some time in the Vienna atelier of his father Wilhelm before emigrating in 1939. The present portrait was created in 1935.

Provenance: collection of the granddaughter of the Austro-American psychoanalyst René Spitz; acquired from a Belgian private collection.

Backing cardboard a little stained in two places and traces of old mounting on verso, otherwise clean and crisp.
