Ferdinand Schmutzer created portraits as models for etchings, which made him renowned since the turn of the century. In 2001 his quality photographic work was rediscovered. Sigmund Freud's students commissioned a portrait on the occasion of the 70th birthday of the founder of psychoanalysis. In a letter to the photographer dated May 10, 1926, Freud wrote: "My friends and relatives either admire the portrait at first sight, or at first find it too severe, only to admit after longer contemplation that it looks more and more like me. I take immense pleasure in the reproduction of my nasty face, and only now feel that I have been preserved for posterity."
