Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: March 15, 1885 (SNAC; Weilbachs Kunstnerleksikon; RKDartists; Kunstindeks Danmark; Dansk kvindebiografisk leksikon; Benezit Dictionary of Artists) or March 15, 1886 (The Fine Art Archive Db).
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.
