Transcription notes
The record's IDENTIFICATION, SIGNATURE/INSCRIPTION/MARKS and DIMENSIONS field headings are present but EMPTY - so no state and no catalogue reference may be asserted. A web-search summary claimed 'third state of four' for this impression; that is NOT in the museum record and is rejected. Exhibited 'Past Made Present: Dutch Shadows in the Black Atlantic' (Sep 2022 - Aug 2023) and 'Rhode Island Collects Paper' (1986). RISD's label copy refers to 'the two versions of Self-Portrait in a Velvet Cap with Plume', which may indicate a second RISD impression or a loan; not resolved - see open_questions.

How to read this record
Every field above is transcribed from the holding institution’s own published record, in the institution’s own words. Nothing has been normalised, converted or reconciled — where a record is internally inconsistent, or disagrees with another institution, the inconsistency is preserved, because it is data about the state of cataloguing for this plate rather than noise to be tidied away.
If this record is wrong — and if you work at this institution you will know before we do — please tell us. Corrections are logged with their reason and credited.
