Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: December 20, 1842 (Norsk biografisk leksikon; Artists of the World Online; Integrated Authority File; KulturNav; Benezit Dictionary of Artists; Norsk kunstnerleksikon) or December 16, 1842 (The Fine Art Archive Db; Artists of the World Online).

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.
