But the professor provides the reason why this has happened. She states that recent research and analysis has found that the original painting was modified after hundred years. The fur collar which caused the inconsistency was added in that time. Before that modification the collar was normal servant collar.

Secondly, passage states that in the painting light and shadow do not fit together. Passage points the inconsistency between face lighting and dark fur collar, which does not reflect light. Professor again point out that this is due to the modification mentioned above and before that the collar was lite color which reflects light much better. Which depicts Rembrandt's the mastery of handling light and shadow.

Final fact provided in the passage is about the panel. The current one is made of several pieces of wood glued together and this is not a attribute of any known Rembrandt painting. Professor states that is panel modification was also occurred during the above modification and original painting was on a wood panel. This modification was done to enlarge the panel to increase the value of the painting.
