A statue of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, is situated in the grounds of the Tavistock Clinic, at the junction of Fitzjohns Avenue and Belsize Lane, in Hampstead, North London.

His last sittings with Freud would create a "harsher[,] more abstracted portrait" which would become the head for the seated bronze in Hampstead.

"[2] The bronze, slightly larger than life size, was commissioned in the 1960s, with funds raised by a committee chaired by Donald Winnicott.

The sculpture portrays Freud with his head turned to one side as if in thought, with his hands in his waistcoat pockets.

[3] The statue was originally located in "an alcove behind Swiss Cottage Library, where it was virtually hidden away from the public.
