Both the passage and the lecture discuss the legitimacy of a painting portraying Jan Austen, Which was a renowned English writer. However, historians do not know how she looked like but know think that a discovered painting might be an official portrait. The passage claims there is evidence showing that the painting is in fact of jane. However, the lecturer says that such evidence is not convincing, and casts doubt on the claims made by the article.
First, the author of the passage asserts that Austen's family used said portrait as her illustration in 1882. Therefore, this means that her family recognized the girl in the painting as her. Nevertheless, the lecturer contends this argument. He stands that when her family used this painting she was already dead for 70 years, this means that they never saw Austen. Moreover, it is mentioned that they were distant family, making the argument less convincing.
Second, the author points out that the girl in the painting resembles an amateur sketch that Austen's sister made of her. This would confirm that she was the lady in the painting. Nonetheless, the professor challenges this argument, he explains that the lady was probably an Austen's relative, hence the resemblance.
Finally, the text claims that it fits that a contemporary portrayer painted the piece. The article mentions that Ozias Humphray was active around the time when Austen was a teenager, as the piece depicts. The professor in the lecture rebuts this argument, he clarifies that the only thing that fits is the painting style but despite that, the canvas is signed by a merchant who did not start to sell canvas until Austen was 20.
