Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. However, there are doubts whether some paintings attributed to Rembrandt were actually painted by him. One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the representation of the woman’s face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt. But there are problems with the painting that suggest it could not be a work by Rembrandt.

The reading and lecture are both about famous painter Rembrandt. The author argues that there are doubts about some painting attributed to Rembrandt were actually made by him. However, the lecturer refutes the claim of the author. He is of the opinion that all such paintings include style of Rembrandt. The lecturer cast doubt on the main point in the reading by providing three reasons.
To begin with, the author stated that there is something inconsistent about the way woman n the portrait is dressed. She is wearing a white line cap of a kind that only servants would wear. Howbeit, the lecturer rebuts the claim by mentioning that x-ray shows that the coat woman is wearing have not a luxurious fur collar.
Secondly, According to the reading, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and shadow, but in this painting, these elements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated by light reflected onto it from below. Nevertheless, the argument is challenged by the lecturer that below the is light colour collar which actually reflects light which results in the illuminated face.
Finally, the author posits that examination of the back of the painting reveals that it was the painting on a panel made of several pieces of wood glued together. Nonetheless, the lecturer believes that wood panel is used for making the painting large and nothing else.
