Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet

The reading and the lecture was both about one of Rembrandt painting. The author of the reading believes that the painting could not be a work by Rembrandt. The lecture shed lights on these claims made in the article to clear the misconception. She thinks that it originally work of Rembrandt and she gives certain claims for her rebuttal.

First of all, the author claims that there is inconsistence about the way the woman in the portrait has worn a fur collar that is giving a contrast as other clothes are like the servant. The point is made clear by the lecturer. She says that after meticulous x-rays examination it was found that the collar was made after 100 of years by someone else to make the painting more expensive and after removing the paint it can be seen that it is work of the painter.

Secondly, the author believes that there is the problem in light and shadow as Rembrandt was meticulous in it so due to faults in the painting it could not be work of Rembrandt. But the lecturer opposes it. She claims that it was due to the other painter who painted over the work of Rembrandt. Furthermore, she points out that when the fur collar is removed then one can see that the woman is wearing a light collar that reflects the light rather absorb and should be creating a shadow effect.

Third, the author states that the painting reveals that it was painted on a panel made of several pieces of wood glued together which proves not to be the work of Rembrandt. The lecturer challenged this point. She claims that after study it was found that someone else used wooden pieces to make it more valuable. She elaborates on this by mentioning that the single wood panel that was found after removing other glued one is that the wood is of the same tree that he used in other famous painting.
