The lecturer questions the reading that supports that the subject of the portrait of a teenage girl was Jane Austen, providing three reasons.
First, the lecturer casts doubts on the reading that introduces Austen’s family who believes the portrait depicts Jane Austen. The reading highlights her relatives authorized the portrait to illustrate the edition of her letter. However, he reduces the reliability of the authorization by assuming that none of them know real teenaged Jane since she has been dead for 70 years.
Second, the lecturer suggests that the subject of the portrait would have been her distant niece such as Marry-Ann Campion. He refutes the reading that suggests the resemblance between Cassandra’s sketch of Jane and the portrait, offering other possible candidates. He claims that many of her distant relatives would have shared similar face features of Jane depicted in the sketch because her extended family was large.
Third, the lecturer believes that Jane Austen was not a teenage girl when the portrait was painted by providing tangible evidence. Although the reading relates the style of the portrait to Ozias Humphrey’s to date the portrait, he considers this speculation lacks concrete evidence. He introduces the stamp on the canvas, which proves that the canvas was sold after Jane was 27 years old. Therefore, she was older than teenagers at the time when the portrait was painted on the canvas.
Likewise, the lecturer refutes the claim made by the reading by offering these three counter-arguments.
