Dating based onKontraktudkastet er skrevet på bagsiden af en koncept til et brev til Nicolai Abildgaard dateret 25.2.1804. Da Thorvaldsen ofte skrev flere breve samme dag, se fx brevene skrevet 6.8.1804, har Thorvaldsen antagelig skrevet dette kontraktudkast omkring samme tidspunkt, som brevudkastet til Nicolai Abildgaard blev skrevet. |
