Hello. My name is Stephanie. I am a preschool teacher and live in New York. I am a native English and Spanish speaker. I know very little French and would like to improve before my trip to France in the late spring. (Update) I have improved my level of French but would like to become more fluent in it. I did visit France and fell more in love with the language and culture. I am here to continue to work on my French language development. I hope to be spending next summer in France. ☺️

    The lecturer opposes all of the points written in the reading passage. For her the portrait known as "Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet" was painted by Rembrandt. Moreover, she demonstrated why this painting is Rembrandt's work. First, because Rembrandt was a painter who always gave a lot of attention to the details. He would never paint a fur collar on a servant who could not afford it. However, as the speaker says, there is proof that the collar was painted after by someone who wanted to increase the value of the portrait for selling it. Secondly, there are some problems with the lights and shadows in the painting. Rembrandt was a master in painting them. However, the speaker asserts that the lights and shadows look unrealistic as a result of the collar added after to the portrait; and by removing it we see that they will fit perfectly with the environment . Finally, the panel of the portrait was made by different kinds of woods, he usually used only panels made by one type of wood. On the other hand, the woman in the lecture suggests that the other kind of wood panels were added after, and that the real material of the painting fit with another used in one of Rembrandt's work that were probably removed. For these reasons the painting should be considered a work by Rembrandt.
