 Detail from the foot of the couch. Above a portrait of Freud's colleague Ernst von Fleischl-Marxow who was a close friend at the time of Freud's internship at the Vienna General Hospital. Beneath it is a reproduction of Ingres' "Oedipus and the Sphinx"; next to it on the right is a plaster cast of the "Gradiva" with a sprig of dry papyrus in the frame. |

 Corner of the consulting room behind the armchair in which Freud listened to his patients. Above, two large fragments of pompeian wall painting with a centaur and a faun: beneath it an unidentified Roman bust. On the left below the centaur fragment, framed sketches by Wilhelm Busch. On both sides of the bust painted pompeian fragments (a sphinx, a winged goddess with a bird, a leaf pattern, a sylvan deity with horse's ears and tail, beneath it a pouncing lion). Left below, an Egyptian papyrus with the gods of the underworld: Horus, Anubis and Osiris. |

 View of the antiquities opposite Freud's armchair. On the table stand wooden figures, Egyptian funerary objects from various epochs, mostly in human form: behind them a Chinese camel (modern forgery in Tang Dynasty style). On the shelves, Buddha figures next to Greek, Roman and Egyptian pieces. Photos by Edmund Engelman [ CONSULTING ROOM ] See also: [ THEMES ] |
