Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: May 9, 1874 (GeneaStar; SNAC; The Fine Art Archive Db; Carter, Howard; Find a Grave; Babelio) or in 1873 (CONOR.SR; National Library of Portugal; mcnbiografias.com; bridgemanimages.com; NUKAT; Nationalencyklopedin; Invaluable; Artnet).
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.
