Jane Austin

Jane Austin

The lecture and the reading both discuss the reliability of Jane Austen´s portrait. Whereas the lecture suggests three evidences that the girl depicted at the portrait is Jane Austin, the lecture challenges those points.

First, according to the reading, the Austen family recognized the picture as a portrait of the author and suggested that the girl was Jane Austen. However, the lecture refutes this point. The lecturer states that this fact was in 1880, 70 years after Jane Austin´s death. So, the family had never seen Jane Austin´s face by themselves.

Second, the reading claims that the girl in the portrait has some similar feature to Cassandra´s sketchs, which are pictures of Jane Austin as adult. Nevertheless, the professor argues that her had a large family, so the girl at the portrait may have been her relative.

Finally, the reading points out that the style of the painter was recognized as Austin family's painter. On the other hand, the professor says that this painter, called Humpherey, was an active painter in England when Jane Austin was 27 years old. Hence, the teenager of the portrait may not have been her.

In conclusion, the main points made in the reading to recognize Jane Austin as the girl depicted in the portrait, are effectively challenged by the lecturer.
