Both the reading and the passage are discussing a specific painting. The passage asserts that this painting does not belong to the Rembrandt and provides several reasons. However, the professor in the lecture believes that Rembrandt painted this painting originally and refutes all the author's reasons.
At first, the passage states that the woman's dress in the painting is luxurious. On the other hand, Rembrandt did not mind to dress, hence, this painting does not belong to him. However, the professor in the lecture asserts that an X-ray experiment showed that Rembrandt originally painted it and later other person added some pigment on the original painting and made the woman's dress more colorful than before.
Second, the author of the passage makes the point that light and shadows in this painting are not fit together. Also, in Rembrandt's painting, shallows and light are always fit to each other; hence, this does not belong to him. The professor casts doubt on this point and illustrates that in the original painting that is under the pigments, shadows of the woman's face are correct. The added pigments on the painting made the woman's face white and disappeared the shadows.
Finally, the author points to the pieces of wood in the back of the painting. He explains that the Rembrandt's paintings are on one piece of wood, not several attached pieces; hence, this is not the Rembrandt's painting. However, the professor challenges this point and explains that the original painting is on one piece of wood. He then mentions that someone wanted to make the painting big and added some pieces to the top of the painting.
