Portrait of Eleonora di Toledo

Hi, I'm writing you about File:Vaiani, Lorenzo (Lorenzo dello Sciorina) - Official portrait of Eleonora of Toledo, Duchess of Florence.jpg. On 20 November 2018 and again on 5 February 2021 (even if I had already undone your edit [1]), you added the Wikidata number refering to the portrait by Agnolo Bronzino. This painting is a copy by Lorenzo della Sciorina: if you add the Wikidata number of the original painting, in the infobox the information about the copist will disappear. --Kaho Mitsuki (Dis-moi) 08:57, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for beeing patient, Kaho Mitsuki. I am adding those IDs based on visual comparison of pairs of pictures in a few lists (User:Multichill/Same image without Wikidata). Maybe the creator has an idea how to avoid it? --Arnd (talk) 12:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
@Kaho Mitsuki: copies are always a source of confusion and mistakes especially when the copy is also in Category:Eleanor of Toledo with her son Giovanni de' Medici by Agnolo Bronzino. Instead of undoing the edit is better to just create an item for the copy and link the image to it so the two won't be mixed up again. That's what I did: Portrait of Eleanor of Toledo and her son Garzia de' Medici (Q105585383). Multichill (talk) 17:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
@Multichill: Thanks! I'll try in next days to create an item for all the several portraits of that series.--Kaho Mitsuki (Dis-moi) 18:44, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
@Kaho Mitsuki: that would be great! I already spotted several other similar potraits of her. Multichill (talk) 19:11, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
