Portrait photograph signed (‘Sigm. Freud’), 1922
The image by Max Halberstadt, Hamburg, 300 x 231mm, blind stamped at lower left corner. Signed at the lower right. Provenance: Christie’s London, 14 November 2007, lot 41.
Freud by his son-in-law. In 1922 Freud was working on ‘The Ego and the Id’ (published April 1923), the last of his major theoretical works, which suggested a new structural model of the mind. The photograph by Max Halberstadt (1882-1940) was taken in the previous year, at a sitting which also yielded one of the most of famous images of Freud, standing in profile and holding a cigar. Halberstadt was married to Freud's daughter Sophie who died in 1920, while pregnant with their third child.
