Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: October 24, 1885 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Integrated Authority File; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; BnF authorities; WeChangEd; GeneaStar) or October 2, 1885 (The Fine Art Archive).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
