The topic is whether the portrait of the woman is actually painted by Rembrandt. The reading passage states three reasons that the painting isn't a work of Rembrandt. However, the lecture refutes this opinion.
First, the reading passage shows the inconsistency between the white linen cap and luxurious fur collar that the woman is wearing. Rembrandt who paid a lot of attention to the details of his painting would not make mistake like this. On the contrary, the lecture illustrates that the fur color isn't the part of the original painting. It was added 100 years after the painting was done to make the painting look more valuable. The original color of the fur is simple, aligned with the cap.
Second, the reading passage demonstrates that the light and shadow in the painting don't fit each other as the face is illuminated by the light reflected by the collar where there is the dark fur collar which would absorb the light. The lecture debates that when the painting added by someone else is removed, the original collar is bright light color which can reflect the light.
Third, in the reading passage, the panel is made of several pieces of wood glued together, which never showed in other Rembrandt's works. The lecture indicates that the panel was enlarged when the color of the collar was added to make the paining more grand and valuable. The original panel is made of single piece of wood, just like what Rembrandt would use on his work. Besides, the original wood came from the same tree where some panels of Rembrandt works also came from.
