that mista#es because he is a painter "ho very careful about details. $n the listenin!, it said the fur
collar is addin! after. %ccordin! to professor, they find that the pi!ment of bac#!round and fur
collar is different. &o it means some one added it on the ori!inal paint.
&econd, in the passa!e it said the li!ht and shado" are not fit to!ether, fur collar is dar# then it
sho" absorbed li!ht not reflected li!ht, but "oman's face is li!ht, accordin! to Rembrandt is a
painter care about details, so he "ill not ma#e that mista#e, in the listenin!, it said because the fur
collar added and if too# it off, people can see the ori!inal one. $t should be a li!ht collar, and li!ht
collar can reflected the li!ht li#e this.
