How to move tikzpicture with named nodes?

I am trying to position an image with rounded corners to a specific position on screen. However, according to the following post, yshift and xshift do not affect nodes that are named and I am still a bit confused on how to use the ++ and if this is the best approach.

Take my current situation:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagegraphicx
usepackagetikz
usepackage[a4paper,top=3cm, bottom=3cm, left=2cm, right=2cm]geometry

begindocument

begintikzpicture
 beginscope
 clip [rounded corners=0.7cm] (0,0) rectangle coordinate (centerpoint) (4,4.0cm); 
 node [inner sep=0pt] at (centerpoint) includegraphics[width=4.0cm]dogesmall.jpg; 

 draw[line width=0.08cm,rounded corners=0.7cm] (0,0) rectangle (4,4.0cm);
 endscope
endtikzpicture 

enddocument

(Where "dogesmall.jpg" is my current image)

This produces a result that places the image in the upper left hand corner, as defined by the margins. However, I would like to tweak the position of the tikzpicture without changing the margins like so:

How would I go about accomplishing such a task?

I tried following this post by using the following:

newcommandsetcoordinates
 coordinate (centerpoint) at (4,4.0cm);

And then referencing this coordinate by coordinate (centerpoint) and then applying a shift transformation, but that does not work either. Any thoughts?

Welcome to TeX.SE! Are you looking for overlay, which allows you to position stuff at absolute coordinates?

documentclassarticle
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagetikzpagenodes
usepackage[a4paper,top=3cm, bottom=3cm, left=2cm, right=2cm]geometry

begindocument

begintikzpicture[overlay,remember picture]
 beginscope
 clip [rounded corners=0.7cm] (current page text area.north west) coordinate (centerpoint) rectangle ++(4,-4); 
 node [inner sep=0pt,anchor=north west] at (centerpoint) 
 includegraphics[width=4.0cm,height=4cm]example-image-duck; 
 endscope
 draw[line width=0.08cm,rounded corners=0.7cm] (centerpoint) rectangle ++(4,-4); 
endtikzpicture 

enddocument

enter image description here

If you want to place the image at the upper left corner of the page (rather than the upper left corner of the of the text area), replace (current page text area.north west) by (current page.north west).
