Notes edit

• I have not been able to identify "P. Fendi". The artist Peter Fendi was born in 1796, and thus was aged only seven at van Swieten's death in 1803. Perhaps the portrait is posthumous? Opus33 (talk) 17:12, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

• More: this page [1] tells us that (at least one copy of) the engraving is in the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Opus33 (talk) 17:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
