In addition to that, she says that the painting has been repainted to increase its value and importance.

Secondly, the painting has some issues with lighting and shadows. The lecturer explains this by saying that the color of the fur was not dark in the original painting rather it was of light-colored cloth and unlike dark color, it would have reflected the light from the fur.
