Girl with a Flute: Is it a Real Vermeer?

A discussion of Girl with a Flute by Johannes Vermeer. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. concluded in 2022 that this is not a genuine Vermeer, but "more likely painted by a studio associate of Vermeer." Is their evaluation correct or is this a real Vermeer? This video focuses on a stylistic comparison of Girl with a Flute to Vermeer's Girl with a Red Hat and posits a thematic parallel between the two. If the two are thematic "sisters" then perhaps it is more likely than not that they were both painted by Vermeer.
