Comparative Listing: Early Date Reference

This listing material provides an early-date signal for the Bugatti bust consistent with the circa 1904 argument. Listing references are used in the dossier as supporting evidence alongside the biographical constraints and stylistic comparison. Listing material is not treated as primary-source evidence on its own, since catalog descriptions can repeat earlier errors. In this case, the early date reference is noted as consistent with the documentary argument and assigned probable status. It does not contradict the biographical evidence and aligns with the stylistic reading.
