Tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't see that note referring in any way to the "current" Duke, as the page now suggests. It only talks about how the painting is credited to "Duke Luca Abele" (later just "the Duke"), which can refer to both a current and a former ruler.

Another odd thing: The note mentions traces of white leaf tobacco in the paint - if this is taken as a hint that the painter was a smoker, which Armando is and Luca isn't, how would you explain that the painting (self-portait) in question is actually one of Luca's own and not Armando's works, noticable by its poor technical quality? In The Grand Palace, we learned that both Armando and Luca paint, only that Luca is really bad at it and thus claims Armando's paintings as his own.
