The reading states about Jane Austen portrait which recently came up for sale by one of her family members and the author believes that there are several reasons that support the idea that she is the subject in this portrait. However, the professor explains that those evidences hardly approve the subject and he refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the article claims that Austen's family accepted it as a portrait of Austen because they permit to use it in one of her letters. In contrary, the lecturer opposes this idea and explains that the date of this permission is 70 years after the Austen death. So it is expected that her family can't have an accurate image of her face and their permission is not a proper reason to support the idea.
Second, the text states that Austen's face in this portrait is obviously similar to Cassendra's sketch as an accepted painting of Austen. Conversely, the professor opposes this point and explains that while the portrait is of an teenage girl, it can be a picture of one of her relatives. It is reported that Austen had some relatives who has same age as Austen on that period.
Finally, the reading claims that there are some evidences that it was painted when Austen was a teenager. However, the speaker refutes this opinion by stating that recent researches about the date of selling of the portrait blank canvas shows that this action was happened when Austen was so older than the age that depicted in that portrait.
