One of Rembrandt's famous paintings about a woman's portrait is a controversial issue as to whether it was made by Rembrandt himself or not. The author points out three major doubts on that the portrait of a woman is Rembrandt's work, on the other hand the lecturer proves the painting is indeed Rembrandt's piece of work by using reexamination result to explain.
In the reading passage, the first reasonable doubt is the inconsistent of the woman's dress. The woman wears a cap which is a usual servant wear, in the meanwhile she also puts on a coat which has a luxurious fur collar. Due to the fact that Rembrandt is well-known for his attention to the details, this contradict is unlikely to happen. Moreover, Rembrandt is also famous for mastering the light and shadow of the paintings. In this case, the dark fur collar makes the painting's brightness unreasonable which is another error Rembrandt would never made. The third doubt is that through the examination, the artwork was proved being painted on a panel which was composed by several pieces of wood, and none of his work is ever like this way.
The speaker begins by saying that all the above doubts on the painting are true, but it is absolutely a Rembrandt's work Because after analyzing the pigment of the painting, it reveals that the fur collar is not the part of the original painting, in other words it was added long after the painting was completed. This discovery solves the doubts of the conflicting between the servant cap and luxurious fur collar, and the unbalanced brightness of the woman's face, so does why the painting was made on a panel consisted of different pieces of wood.
