Both the reading and listening discuss the famous painting" Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet". The author believes that this portrait was not painted by Rembrants and provides three reasons for support. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that this portrait belongs to Rembrandt.
To begin with, the author suggests that the subject portrait is unreliable regarding the dressing of the lady, the cap was for maids and the coat was fancy. Thus Rembrant can not make such a terrible mistake since he was known by being meticulous. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She says that the fur collar was not in the original painting and somebody, after 100 years of its painting, painted it on top of the original painting to increase its value and to look more aristocratic. Thus, the authentic painting was consistent.
Secondly, the writer argues that the light and shadow in the original painting were not compatible and Rembrandt can not do this blunder. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim by asserting that the original painting was clearly realistic but the addition of the fur collar made it look not fit.
Finally, the back of the portrait has glued pieces of wood as if it was not one single wood panel, which indicates that Rembradent was not the painter. The lecturer, in contrast, casts doubt on this by explaining that the wood panel was enlarged at the time of the addition of the fur collar to be more grand and valuable. In addition, she mentions that the original portrait was made of a single piece of wood and research has shown that it was from the same tree that Rebrant used for his famous "Self Portrait With a Hat".
