Summarise the points made in the reading passage and the lecturer.

Summarise the points made in the reading passage and the lecturer. n6DDE
The reading and lecture are both about some paintings that have been attributed to Rembrandt. Whereas the author of the reading states that ‘portrait of an elderly woman in a white Bonnet’ was not painted by Rembrandt though it has been attributed to him, the lecturer suggests that the painting was officially made by Rembrandt but certain modifications were done to it. The lecturer casts doubt on the main points made in the reading by providing following three reasons. First of all, according to the reading, there is inconsistency in dressing style of the servant in the portrait. In the painting she wears a luxurious fur coat that a normal servant cannot afford. However, the lecturer disputes this point. She says that from thorough re-examination of the painting, the X-ray of pigments used have shown that the fur coat was not made in the original painting. Furthermore, she mentions that, since some people wanted to make it look formal, they have added it. Secondly, the reading states that Rembrandt made proper combination of light and shadow unlike the painting that had shown the face illuminated with dark fur collar below the face. The face should appear darker as the dark fur collar would absorb light rather than reflecting it. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes this argument. She argues that, in original painting made by Rembrandt there was no fur coat, instead the woman was wearing white collar cloth that illuminated her face. Finally, the reading claims that the painting was made on a panel made of several wood pieces glued together. Rembrandt never paints on wood panels glued together. On the other hand, the lecturer says that in order to make painting look more grand and valuable, several pieces were glued. In addition, she points that the wood belonged to same tree used by Rembrandt. In Conclusion, although the reading and the lecture both argue about whether some paintings that have been credited to Rembrandt were originally painted by him or not, the three main points made in the reading are effectively challenged by the lecturer.
