doubt on portrait
The reading and lecture both describes about the painting ' Potrait of an Elderly woman in a white bonnet' painted by painter Rembrandt. The author of the passage believes that the painting is not done by Rembrandt and puts forward many facts and clues for evidence. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made by the author of the reading. She says that it was painted by Rembrandt and puts forward three main points that wil be discussed below.
First of all, the author of the passage says that the woman in the painting is dressed in a way that is not usually the way how Rembrandt paints his pictures. The woman is dressed in a luxurious fur collar, which is very costly but the hat she wears doesnot look luxurious and rather it looks like servants' cap and concludes that Rembrandt would never do such a mistake. The lecturer rebuts this claim. She says that according to the review of the painting made by the panel of experts, the collar has been painted over the top of it after 100 years so as to increase the value of the painting.
Secondly, the author states that light is reflected on the face of the painting even with the presence of dark fur collar. She is skeptical because of the fact that dark colour would absorb light and hence refelectionn of light is not possible. He says that it is not the style of Rembrandt. The lecturer, on th other hand, contradicts this by saying that if the collar was removed and simple light coloured cloth would surely reflect light.
Finally, the author contends that the painting was done on several pieces of wood sticked together, But usually, Rembrandt qould paint his paintings on wood panels and concludes that it was not his work. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She argues that the wood material on which painting is done is taken from the same tree that Rembrandt used to paint his other paintings. She also shows the example of the self-portrait of Rembrandt to prove this claim.
