The passage and the lecture offers opposing views about the validity of the claim that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austin. While the text lists the arguments to support the claim, the professor contradicts each of those arguments by providing specific reasons.
First and foremost, according to the text the family of Jane Austen has endorsed the claim that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austin. However, the professor notes that when the portrait was authorized as an illustration she was already dead. So, the extended family members who endorsed the claim had not even seen her.
Secondly, the text asserts that the features of the teenage girl in the painting resembles Austen's face as depicted in Cassandra's sketch. On the other hand, the professor argues that the portrait might be of one of Jane's cousins. A lot of Austen's cousins were teenager at the time she was one, so this can also explain the resemblance. Moreover, he says that experts believe that the girl in the portrait is Marien who was one of the Jane's cousins.
Finally, the passage posits that even though the painting is unsigned and undated the style resembles as that of Ozias who was active at the same time Jane was a teenager. Whereas, the professor points out that the stamp at the back of the canvas indicates that it was sold by William leg who was not involved in selling the canvases at the time Jane was a teenager rather he was active when she might be twenty seven years old. Hence, this is enough evidence to prove that the canvas was used when she was older.
