Portrait of an elderly women ina white bonnet
The reading describes doubts about “Portrait of an elderly woman in a white bonnet” a portrait, which was considered to be one of Rembrandt's paintings, and gives three reasons to endorse its idea. On the other hand, the lecture provides counter-arguments by stating that careful re-examination has proved the portrait to be indeed Rembrandt’s piece of art.
To begin with, the author states that Rembrandt was known for paying closer attention to the details of his paintings, whereas the details of the woman’s luxury fur collar were not matching with the description of her dress. However, the Lecture refutes this claim by indicating that x-ray analysis has shown that the pigment of the fur is not matching with the original painting. As it was added over the top of the fur collar hundred years later to increase the value of the painting, and to make the portrait more valuable. Therefore, the details seemed different from the original.
Secondly, the writer describes that there is a shadow on the woman’s face from her black collar. It was impossible for Rembrandt to do such a blunder, as he was known to paint lights and shadows. The lecture opposes this argument by insisting that the painter was master to know the effect of shadowing and lighting. During the analysis, when fabricated pigment from the fur was removed, a light-colored collar was discovered under the black fur that clearly suggests this light color illuminated the woman’s face. Therefore, this is not an error made by the painter but by the fabricator.
Lastly, the writer points that if it was the painter’s original work it was not glued on several pieces of wooden panels because Rembrandt had not used several pieces of wood for any of his creations. The lecture clarifies this and explains that the original painting was on a single panel, but when the fur collar was added then the wooden frame was enlarged too with multiple panels. Another evidence is the source of the woody panel. Rembrandt had used the same wood source for creating another portrait, and this could not be a coincidence. So, extra panels were used later for enlargement purposes only
