The Real Artist
That is not to say that the artwork was not incredible, however, and even if Rembrandt had not made it himself, his assistant had done a fantastic job, even if he had tried to pose as his teacher. The painting was not exactly “fake”, given that it had been created under the guidance of the artist himself. Regardless, this work of art is still an important addition to art history and is worthy of conservation. This is why it was sent to New York.

A Renowned Institution
The artwork was received by New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts in Manhattan. Along with the Kress Foundation, the institution works at conserving pieces provided to the organization across various galleries and museums across America. The institute’s website provides new details regarding the authenticity, authorship, purpose, and initial setting of the paintings in question. “Portrait of a Young Woman” would receive the same treatment. How much more information was about to be learned, and would a new light be shed on the mysterious painting?
