Question

Who is depicted in the image below?

Answer 1

Answer: Sigmund Freud

Answer 2

Answer:

Sigmund Freud

Explanation:

The cartoon depicts the Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, who is considered to be the founder of the psychoanalysis method. We recognize it is him because of his specific beard, piercing eyes, and facial features, as well as because of the cigarette he holds in his hand.

Freud was often photographed with the cigarette, and he is therefore presented with one here as well. He was an avid smoker, often citing that to be one of the greatest enjoyments in life.

Freud’s presentation and face became symbols of psychoanalysis, but also various unique theories, as he started many of them.
