Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most famous of all English novelists, and today her novels are more popular than ever, with several recently adapted as Hollywood movies. But we do not have many records of what she looked like. For a long time, the only accepted image of Austen was an amateur sketch of an adult Austen made by her sister Cassandra. However recently a professionally painted, full-length portrait of a teenage girl owned by a member of the Austen family has come up for sale. Although the professional painting is not titled Jane Austen, there are good reasons to believe she is the subject.
The main idea presented in both the reading and the lecture is about what Jane Austen looked like. Considering this, the reading passage claims that there is a masterpiece portrait depicting a teenage girl who is the subject, Jane Austen and provides three reasons for support. However, the lecturer finds all the ideas mentioned by the reading unconvincing and questionable and presents some evidence to refute each of them.
Firstly, the author argues that the portrait owned by a member of the Austen family is allowed to be used as a representative of Jane Austen who is the author of famous novels. In fact, her family advocates this claim that the girl in the painting is Jane Austen. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that this reason is highly questionable due to the fact that during the publication of Jane's letters, she had died for 17 years and none of the Austen family members have never seen her themselves. Hence, the teenage girl in the painting is not Jane Austen.
Additionally, the article holds the view that the face of the teenage girl in the full-length portrait is elaborately somewhat akin to the one in Cassandra's sketch. On the contrary, the professor underlies the fact that the Austen family is a large and extended one which has many teenage girls resembling to Jane Austen. In addition, Jane Austen has a niece named Mary who is actually very similar to her.
Finally, the passage asserts that there is evidence clarifying that the Austen family hired a professional painter who had been active for 10 years when Jane Austen was a teenager girl. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that the back of the painting is made of the black canvas and the one who sells canvas was for a later time when Jane Austen was not a teenager. Therefore, the painting is not related to Jane Austen's full-length portray.
