Jane Austen

The passage states that the full-length portrait of a teenage girl owned by austin family member is believed to be of Jane Austen when she was a teenager. The passage provides three reasons to support this claim. However, the professor questions the claim and refutes each of the point.

First, the passage states that Austen family gave permission to use the same portrait in an edition of her letters, so it means that family members recognized the portrait to be of Jane Austen. The lecture refutes this point and says that, when the family members authorized this portrait, it was 70 years since the death of Jane Austen and family member may have never seen Jane Austen. Hence, family members cannot be certain that the portrait is of the author.

Second, the passage posits that the face in the portrait resembles to one of the cassandra’s sketched and both the portrait and the sketch have similar features. However, the professor opposes this. The professor states that the extended family of Jane was very large and there is a possibility that the sketch drawn by Cassandra is of one of the cousins or niece of Jane Austen and not the author herself as the family members can have similar features.

Third, the passage says that even though the painting is unsigned and undated, there are evidences that it was drawn when Austen was a teenager as it links to the style of Ozais Humphrey who was likely hired by wealthy Austen family. The professor dismisses this point and says that the stamp which was at the back of canvas suggest that it was drawn by Artist called William in London. Professor furthers says that William didn’t sell paintings in London when Austen was a teenager but started selling paintings when Austen was atleast 27 years old and not a teenager.
