Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading passage
The reading and lecturer are both about the amatuer portrait of Jane Austen by her sister Cassandra which later on painted professionally. The author of the reading states no body knows what Jane Austen looked like however there are some evidences that depicts the girl in the painting is Jane Austen. The lecturer disagrees. He mentions that the proposed reason by author are not convincing and attacks each of the claim made in the article.
First, the author begins by stating that after her death, her family had given authorize to use her portrait as an illustration in her letter. Therefore, her decendent family are claiming the girl in the painting to be Austen. The professor believes there are flaws in the writer’s position. He conteds that when the portrait was authorized Austen was dead for almost 70 years ago so the decendent family of her might not have known and seen her in real life.
Secondly, the girl resembles all the feature of teenage Austen even though the portrait is of adult Austen. In addition, the detail of face, nose, eyebrow and so on exactly matches with teen Austen. The speaker on other hand points out that since Austen had joint family and there were many cousins who were of same age as Austen thus the girl in painting might resemble any one of them. Furthermore, many believes that the portrait is of Austen’s niece.
Finally, the reading passage also notes that although the painting was not signed and dated the style is linked to the society painter that the affluent Austen family would hire. Moreover, the artist was active during the period when Austen was a teenage girl. The professor rebuts this argument. He puts forth the idea that the stamp on back of canvas clearly shows the portrait was sketched by another artist. Additionally, he did not sell painting when Austen was in her teenage instead he began to sold when Austen was 27 years old. Therefore, this clarifies the the girl in the picture is not Austen.
As we can see, the author and speaker holds conflicting views on the portrait whether it was of Austen or not. The speaker effectively challenges the writer’s argumenet.
