According to the reading, a recently discovered painting is an early work by the famous American painter James McNeill Whistler. The lecture, however, argues that the painting is probably not by Whistler.
First, the reading argues that the painting was painted by Whistler because it was included in an art show arranged by one of Whistler's friends. The lecturer argues, however, that this is not good evidence. That's because many paintings were included in that show, not only paintings by Whistler.
Second, the lecturer argues that lots of other painters could have done this painting. The model in the painting appeared in the paintings of lots of other painters at that time. Moreover, the monochromatic style that was used in this painting was used by many other painters in that same era.
Finally, the butterfly that is painted on the painting is not evidence the painting is by Whistler either. Whistler used a butterfly as a signature on his paintings, but this butterfly is a different shape and color, and it is in a different position too. In fact, the lecture says that the butterfly was added later, probably to make people think the painting was painted by Whistler.
In conclusion, the evidence given in the reading in favor of attributing the painting to Whistler is shown by the lecture to be unconvincing.
