The author describes that a professional painting of a teenage girl is the Jane Austen portrait and provides three reasons to support this claim. On the other hand, the lecturer states that the evidence for making this link is not convincing and this portrait is loosely connected to Jane Austen family; moreover, it is hardly proved that Jane Austin as a teenage girl is the subject of this painting and refutes each of the author’s reasons with rational grounds.
First of all, the writer states that the Austen family has subscribed to the view that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austen. Nevertheless, the professor points out that when Austen's family wanted to get authorization for publishing the letters, Jane was dead for seventeen years. To be more specific, even though they asserted that the portrait was Jane, they had never seen her before.
Second, according to the reading, the face in the portrait obviously represents the one in Cassandra's sketch, which we know illustrates Austen. Conversely, the professor brings up the idea that maybe one of Jane Austen's relatives is the subject of the portrait, and there is no connection between the subject of the professional painting and Cassandra's sketch. As a matter of fact, she had a large family with a lot of teenagers which resemble her face. Thus, one of them can be the subject of the portrait; for example, Marie Kanprien.
Third, the writer expresses that there is evidence that the portrait was painted when Austen was a teenager. The speaker posits that only the style of the painting links it to Ozias Humphrey due to the stamp on the canvas. What's more, the blank canvas was sold by a person named William Leg and he did not sell it when he was in London and when Austen was a teenager, but when Austen was 29 years old. Hence, the canvas was older than the time when Austen was a teenager.
Therefore, the points mentioned in the reading do not make any sense.
