TPO 12

The lecture mainly contradicts the author's arguments stating that the portrait resembles Jane Austen, the famous writer. The professor believed that the claim is questionable, and refutes each of the author's reasons, in detail.

Foremost, the reading states that Austin's family recognized the portrait as her. The professor, however, assesses this point by stating that the people who authorized the painting were not connected to her, as firmly as the author believes.

The professor mentions that Austin died 70 years before the incident, and the descendants could not be sure about Jane's appearance to illustrate his point. This plainly shows that none of them could see Austin's face.

According to the article, the portrait resembles the famous writer's face. In contract, the professor says that Austin's family was large; in fact, she had many relatives, whom the portrait can belong to. He concedes that the portrait Does look like Austin, but apparently, her relatives looked like her, as well, so the picture can belong to one of them.

According to the professor, many articles agree that the portrait belongs to Austin's relatives, and not her.

Finally, the author wraps his argument positioning that the style of the painting likes to a portrait painter, who was famous at the same time when Jane was a teenager. The professor argues that this claim is problematic; this is because the canvas used in this painting was sold much later. While the reading suggests that Humphry painted Austin's face; the professor, admitting that the style resembles Humphry's works, asserts that the canvas was only sold in England when Austin was around 27 years old, and not as young when compared to what the passage suggests.

To sum up, both the author and the professor hold conflicting ideas about the portrait's origin. They have trouble finding common ground about this issue.
