This material addresses the question of whether the painting of an old woman could be attributed to Rembrandt. The reading passage suggests that the painting is not one of the famous painter's works. The lecturer, on the other hand, refutes this information by stating that the portrait under consideration belongs to the Dutch painter's hand /brush/.
To begin with, the reading passage highlights that the woman on the portrait is wearing a servant's cap and an aristocrat’s clothes - an inconsistency which Rembrandt would not have made /tolerated/. Meanwhile, the professor casts doubt on this and argues that there is evidence that a part of the painting with the luxury clothing was added by another painter later in order to increase its value.
Additionally, the article posits that the picture has another drawback which shows the inability of its creator to reflect light and shadow properly. The problem is that a professional would not have reflected light on the woman's face without shadow since the fur collar on her clothes would have absorbed the light illuminating the woman's face from the relevant position. However, the professor advocates a different approach and provides the following details. Namely, she mentions that the original wearing of the woman portrayed in the painting was consistent with the form of light on the woman's face.
Finally, the author invites attention to the fact that Rembrandt had never paint on glued together wood panels, as it was the case with the portrait. This goes counter to /with/ the information in the listening passage, according to which, the wood panels were added later when another painter added some fragments to it.
