Painting of young Jane Austen

Essay topics:

Painting of young Jane Austen.

The author in this reading is talking about the portrait of a young girl that was put up for sale by the Austen family, claiming it was a portrait of young Jane Austen. The author suggests certain reasons in favor of the idea that the subject of that painting is the young Austen. The lecturer, on the other hand, calls into question the reasons provided.
First, the author's claim is that since the Austen family gave permission to use a portrait as Jane's illustration, they must have recognized it, but the lecturer's stance is that at that time Jane died 70 years before they gave that permission, and they must have never seen Jane by themselves. So, it cannot be said with certainty if that painting is really of Jane.
Second, the author asserts that the woman in the painting closely resembles the portrait of Jane Austen. However, the lecture refutes this point and states that the woman could be a close relative of Jane. Further, he adds that Jane's descendants closely resembled her, so the lady depicted in that painting might be one of them. Finally, the author mentions that this style of painting is very similar to that of Ozia's, who was famous during the time when Jane was still young. But this argument is challenged by the lecturer, as he points out that the stamp on the canvas suggests that the sellers of canvas in this business were around when Jane was nearing the age of 27, but the girl in the portrait is quite young in comparison.
