The reading and the lecture are both about Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet,” a painting may or may not be a work by Rembrandt. The author of the reading believes that there are 3 possible explanations that indicate the painting is not drawn by Rambart. The lecturer challenges the statement made by the author. He is of the opinion that none of these 3 explanations are perfect enough to deny the painting is done by Rembrandt.
First of all, the author suggests that there is some anomaly in the dress of the portrayed women. It is mentioned that there is a discrepancy between the type of cap which normally worn by servants and the coat which has a valuable fur collar and it doesn’t represent the way Rembrandt work normally. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He says that Fur collar was not a part of the original product. Furthermore, he argues that some changes have been made possible to enhance the value of the product as a result fur collar has been shifted from the top of the point.
Secondly, The writer contends that there lacks harmony between light and shadow on that particular portrait. The article notes that the dark fur collar which is situated underneath the face makes the face darker as it consumes light instead of illuminate. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by asserting that in original image light and shadow creates a realistic figure. He elaborates on this by mentioning that in its previous version the girl had a light color dress which reflects the front face.
Finally, It is stated in the article that there is a presence of several pieces of wood connected together which doesn’t follow the Rembrandt style, appearance. The author establishes that Rembrandt normally draws on a single piece of wood. The lecturer, on the contrary, posits that to make it more valuable further some changes have been made like enlargement of the wood panel by attaching several blocks of wood. He puts forth the idea that the backside wood panel of that painting is also generated from the same tree that Rembrandt uses regularly for drawing purpose.
In conclusion, the lecturer successfully challenges the statements made by the author.
