The reading and the lecture are both discussing a painting of a teenage girl. The author believes that girl in the painting is Jane Austin. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He thinks that the provided arguments cannot prove that statement.
First of all, the author point out the Austin family itself thinks that the girl in the portrait is Jane, as they gave the permission to publish it in an edition of her letters. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that the family members who claim that the teenager is Jane Austin have never actually seen her, so they do not know how she looked.
Secondly, the author contends that the face in the portrait is very similar to the one in Cassandra Austins sketch, which depicts Jane. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He says that although the features are similar, it does not prove that it was Jane Austin. He adds that it could be a painting of her cousin or one of her relevant, as the women in Austin family looked alike.
Finally, the author states that the painting was attributed to Ozias James, who worked exactly at the time when Jane was a teenage girl. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that stamp on the back of the paintings cloth shows that it was sold by a man named Willem Leg in London when Jane was in the age of 27. So, the teenager cannot be her in the portrait.
