Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters.

The reading and lecture are both about Rembrandt's painting "Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet". However, both have opposing views about it. The reading stats that the painting is not the work of the artist it is credited to. The lecturer challenges this statement made by the author and in her opinion, the artist is the original creator of the painting.

Firstly, the author says that the woman in the painting has inconsistency in the dress she is wearing and since the artist was very meticulous about the clothes in his painting, he wouldn't have made such an obvious mistake. The lecturer, however, rebuts his statement by saying that the collar was painted on the top of the original painting some 100 years after the original painting was created and because of this, we see such inconsistency.

Secondly, the writer contends that Rembrandt was a master of lights and shadows, but still, the painting has the woman's face appear illuminated by the light even though she is wearing a dark collar coat which should absorb light. He further posits this kind of error is very unnatural of the artist. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He says as the collar was painted on top of the original painting and when that paint was removed it revealed that the artist's original collar was of light color which explains the illumination of the face. Thus, showing that he is the original artist of the painting.

Finally, it is stated in the article that the painting was made on a panel made of several pieces of wood glued together which the artist has never done with any of his different paintings. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that the wood panel on which original painting was painted was glued with different pieces of wood to enlarge it and to add value to it. He elaborate on this by mentioning that the original wood used for the painting is of the same tree which Rembrandt used in his other paintings.
