TPO-12 - Integrated Writing Task
Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most famous of all English novelists, and today her novels are more popular than ever, with several recently adapted as Hollywood movies. But we do not have many records of what she looked like. For a long time, the only accepted image of Austen was an amateur sketch of an adult Austen made by her sister Cassandra. However recently a professionally painted, full-length portrait of a teenage girl owned by a member of the Austen family has come up for sale. Although the professional painting is not titled Jane Austen, there are good reasons to believe she is the subject.
First, in 1882, several decades after Austen's death, Austen's family gave permission to use the portrait as an illustration in an edition of her letters. Austen's family clearly recognized it as a portrait of the author. So, for over a century now, the Austen family itself has endorsed the claim that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austen.
Second, the face in the portrait clearly resembles the one in Cassandra's sketch, which we know depicts Austen. Though somewhat amateurish, the sketch communicates definite details about Austen's face. 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 eyebrows, nose, mouth, and overall shape of the face are very much like those in the full-length portrait.
Third, although the painting is unsigned and undated, there is evidence that it was painted when Austen was a teenager. The style links it to Ozias Humphrey, a society portrait painter who was the kind of professional the wealthy Austen family would hire. Humphrey was active in the late 1780s and early 1790s, exactly the period when Jane Austen was the age of the girl in the painting.
The lecture contradicts facts related to the portrait of jane austen as specified in the passage.
According to the passage, the family members of jane austen recognized the girl in the portrait as the subject. However, the professor clearly states that the portrait was authorized for use after almost 70 years after her death. As a result of this, the present-day family members might not have seen her and hence this theory is questionable which predicts a loose connection to the entire family members.
Furthermore, the face of the teenage girl in the portrait resembles the face of the adult jane austen sketched by her sister Cassandra. but this is refuted in the lecture by implying that the portrait could be that of a relative, that is any of her cousins or her niece Mary Ann, who were of her own age group.
Moreover, the style of the painting links to the painter Humphrey who was the kind of professional, the wealthy austen family will hire. Also, at that period, this painter was active, supports the claim. Nevertheless, other evidence dates back to the period when the canvas was sold by William when she was 27 years old. but austen was older than the girl in the portrait.
To put it in a nutshell, the above facts could be summarized that even though jane’s family members claim her portrait to be true, evidences supported in the lecture, refute the claim.
