The passage discusses the most famous painter of the seventeenth-century, Rembrandt. It states that there are some clues which might suggest that the painting Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet might not be a work done by Rembrandt and provides three reasons to support. However, the professor refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading states that there are inconsistencies in the dress in the portrait. The woman is wearing a linen cap, which was a servant's apparel back in the past. Although, the coat she has on her body is an expensive fur collar which, by all means, could not be affordable by any servants. The professor refutes this point by providing a result of the x-ray test of the painting's pigment. It indicates that the painting was repainted on top of the original one.
Second, the article claims that Rembrandt was a light and shadow expert. However, in the painting, the face appears to be overexposed by light reflected from the dark fur collar below, which does not make any sense. The professor contends this point by mentioning that if the shade is removed, the real painting will appear and we will see the light color cloth, which reflects light.
Third, the reading avers that the panel used by this painting is assembled by small pieces of woods The reading continues that none of Rembrandt's work uses this kind of panel. The lecture opposes this point by mentioning that the panel was made that way on purpose, to make it grander. Also, he mentioned that all the pieces of wood the article mentioned were actually made from the same tree according to the research.
To conclude, although the reading and the lecture are both about Rembrandt's painting, three main points in the reading are effectively challenged by the lecturer.
