Sigmund Freud statue

The ‘Sigmund Freud’ statue is a bronze sculpture on a limestone plinth, dating from circa 1970 and created by Oscar Nemon. It is located at the junction of Fitzjohn’s Avenue and Belsize Lane in Hampstead, London, within the grounds of the Tavistock Clinic, close to Sigmund Freud’s former residence in Maresfield Gardens, NW3. The sculpture is larger than life-size and portrays Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, seated with his hands in his waistcoat pockets and his legs slightly splayed. His expression is stern, with his head turned to suggest deep contemplation. The seat is naturalistically rendered and the limestone plinth is inscribed with the name ‘SIGMUND FREUD’.
