Now listen to a part of lecture on the topic you just read about.
現在來聽一段有關你剛剛所閱讀到的話題的演講。
Everything you just read about "Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet" is true,
你剛剛所讀到的關于“戴白帽的老夫人肖像”的每一點都是真的，
and yet after a thorough re-examination of the painting, a panel of experts has recently concluded that it's indeed a work by Rembrandt.
而且，在對這幅畫的全面重新檢查后，一些專家近期得出結論，它確實是倫勃朗的作品。
Here is why.
這里來解釋一下。
First, the fur collar. X-rays and analysis of the pigments in the paint have shown that the fur collar wasn't part of the original painting.
首先，毛領。X-射線和對繪畫中顏料的解釋已經證明毛領不是原畫中的一部分。
The fur collar was painted over the top of the original painting about a hundred years after the painting was made. Why?
毛領是在繪畫完成后約100年的時候在原畫上加畫上去的。為什么？
Someone probably wanted to increase the value of the painting by making it look like a formal portrait of an aristocratic lady.
有人也許想要通過使它看起來像一個貴婦的正式肖像來增加畫的價值。
Second, the supposed error with light and shadow.
第二，所謂的光與影的錯誤。
Once the paint of the added fur color was removed, the original could be seen,
當加畫上去的毛領被去除之后，原畫就能被看見，
in the original painting, the woman is wearing a simple collar of light-colored cloth.
在原畫中，這個女人穿著一件簡單的淺色布料的領子。
The light-colored cloth of this collar reflects light that illuminates part of the woman's face.
這個淺色布料的領子反射光線照亮了一部分女人的臉。
That's why the face is not in partial shadow.
這是為什么臉部局部沒有影子。
So in the original painting, light and shadow are very realistic and just what we would expect from Rembrandt.
所以，在原畫中，光與影是非常逼真的，正是我們對勃朗寧的期待。
Finally, the wood panel.
最后，木板。
It turns out that when the fur collar was added,
原來當毛領被加上后，
the wood panel was also enlarged with extra wood pieces glued to the sides and the top to make the painting more grand and more valuable.
木板也被加大了，兩邊和頂部被膠上了額外的木片，來使繪畫更宏偉和更有價值。
So the original painting is actually painted on a single piece of wood, as would be expected from a Rembrandt painting.
所以，原畫其實是在一片木板上畫的，正如對勃朗寧繪畫的期待。
And in fact, researchers have found
事實上，研究員們已經發現，
that the piece of wood in the original form of "Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet" is from the very same tree as the wood panel used for another painting by Rembrandt,
“戴白帽的老夫人肖像”原畫所用的木板與勃朗寧另一幅畫作所用的木板來自同一棵樹，
his "Self-portrait with a Hat".
他的“戴帽子自畫像”。
