Hellenic Diaspora Foundation, online collection catalogue, Love of the waves or Journey into the heart, record 6817. Institution-reported collection; object photograph compared with the Archive record. Checked 8 September 2026: https://www.hellenicdiaspora.org/home/portfolio-item/constantin-andreou-6817/
The Archive retains 300 × 75 × 53 cm. The 1995 Meudon catalogue records 86 cm for the third measurement, while the 1999 catalogue, the 2004 catalogue, and Mortaki give 53 cm. The reason for this difference remains unresolved; the captions do not identify the order of length, height, and depth.
