The reading and the lecture are both on the authenticity of an artist of a particular painting. The article mentions that although the painting depicts the style and representation of Rembrandt, there are problems due to which it cannot be attributed to be his piece of art. The lecturer completely challenges this claim made by the author. She is of the opinion that thorough examination refutes these claims and the coming three paragraphs explain their viewpoints.
Firstly, the author feels that there is an inconsistency in the dressing of the character. He mentions that the woman wears both a white linen and a luxurious fur collar which contradicts the monetary status of the character and seems very unlikely to be an error made by the artist. The lecturer challenges this argument and states that on X-Ray analysis of the pigments of fur collar, it is evident that it was an addition over the original work by the artist. Additionally, she also mentions that such additions are made to increase the value or to depict an aristocratic woman.
Secondly, the writer points out that the painting lacks behind in the elements of light and shadow and does not seem to blend together in entirety. The article also mentions that this representation contradicts the mastery of skills depicted by the painter. However, the lecturer rebuts this claim by stating that when the fur collar was removed, the painting originally consisted of a light colored cloth. She elaborates on this by saying that with the light color, the painting illuminates and gives a realistic depiction of the skills of the artist.
Finally, the author posits that the examination of the back of the painting revealed that it consisted of several wooden blocks to be glued together as a panel which seemed at odds with the style of the artist. In contrast, the lecturer states that it was the addition of the fur collar which fused the several wooden pieces so as to enlarge the panel and enhance its value. She also brings out to the notice that the painting originally was made on a single wooden panel of a particular wood which had also been used by Rembrandt on another painting.
Consequently, the lecturer does not agree to the claims made by the author and is of the opinion that the painting is an art by Rembrandt.
