The reading passage and the lecture are discussing about the various questions associated with the Rembrandt's painting known as Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet. The passage states three problems associated with the painting, which resulted in the removal of the painting from the Rembrandt's official painting catalog. However the lecture states that all the reasonings are based on unwarranted assumptions and the painting indeed belongs to Rembrandt.
Firstly, the passage posits that the style of the woman's dress in which she is wearing luxurious fur collared coat over a basic white linen is not really Rembrandt's style; as he is known for attention to details. The professor refutes this point by saying that the fur collar wasn't actually an element of the original painting as evidenced by the latest x-ray analysis. The collar was added later in order to increase its value and looks.
Secondly, the passage claims that in the painting the light and shadow elements do not really match Rembrandt's style. In the painting even though there is a black fur around the lady's neck, her face seems to be illuminated. The lecture rejects this argument by saying that in the original painting the light collared coat was used which indeed reflected light, which accounts for the lack of shadows in the painting. But later was replaced by black one as mentioned in the above paragraph. So the painting infact fits with Rembrandt's style.
Finally, the reading mentions that the back of the painting reveals that its made up of several pieces of wood glued together, on the other hand there is no painting attributed to Rembrandt as of now in which he uses glued wood pieces. So the painting is really not his. The lecture completely disagrees with this view and goes on to tell us that when the black fur collar was added to the painting the wood pieces were also added to enhance the painting. Also upon close examination of the painting reveals that the wood used in the main panel actually matches with paintings that have been attributed to Rembrandt.
Thus even though the passage tries to pursuade us into believing that painting was not actually Rembrandt's after hearing the lecture it makes sense and make us to believe that it was indeed painting that can be attributed to Rembrandt.
