Among the many Renaissance artworks that were donated was “Portrait of a Young Woman”. The Kress Foundation had donated many sensational pieces, but few stood out more than this one. Even more incredibly, it was believed at the time to have been an original Rembrandt. The mission suddenly became that much more exciting. But the drama would only last so long after Dutch art experts took a closer look at the painting. They revealed that it was not a Rembrandt original, but one of his assistant’s work.
