Basically, one cannot say anything else about their representations than what once was said in a simple way by a student in an introduction to a composition: 'Already the old Romans knew about love.' The most beautiful picture you sent is of a drink container of the King. I myself have such a delicate piece in my possession which Prof. Delgado brought to me from Lima. Very cordially yours / Sig. Freud''. Single page letter measures 5.5'' x 9''. Accompanied by original mailing envelope, addressed in Freud's hand. Some smudging and toning to letter, overall very good condition.
