The reading and lecture are both about a professionally painted, full-length portrait of a teenage girl owned by a member of the Austen family. The author of the reading feels that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austen. These claims are challenged by the lecturer. He is of the opinion that the arguments given by writer are questionable.
To begin with, the author argues that several decades after Austen's death, Austen's family gave permission to use the portrait as an illustration in an edition of her letters. The article mentions that Austen's family clearly recognized it as a portrait of the author. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He notes that when letters used it as an illustration, Jane had been dead approximately 70 years. Additionally, professor says that the all people in the family did not see Jane themselves.
Secondly, the writer suggests that the face in the portrait clearly resembles the one in Cassandra's sketch, which we know depicts Austen. In the article, it is stated that even though the Cassandra sketch is of an adult Jane Austen, the features are still similar to those of the teenage girl in the painting. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that this portrait would be a depiction of Jane’s relative. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that her family was very large, so there were many cousins and teenagers. Marry and Katy, teenager cousins of Jane, would resemble in this sketch.
Finally, the author posits that although the painting is unsigned and undated, there is evidence that it was painted when Austen was a teenager. Moreover, it is stated that the style links it to Ozias Humphrey, a society portrait painter who was the kind of professional the wealthy Austen family would hire. In contrast, the professor’s position is that the problem is later date of the portrait. The man in the painting sold black canvas in London, but he did not do this work until Jane was twenty seven years old. As a result, this is not convincing that portrait was painted when Jane was young.
