The author asserts that Jane Austen is the teenage girl painted in the portrait owned by a member of her family. However, the lecturer argues that point by saying that there is not enough evidence to confirm that.
First, the article conveys that Austin’s family have supported that the girl painted in the portrait is Jane Austin because they recognized her. On the other hand, the lecture questions this point by saying that those members of Austin’s family, who have authorized the use of the portrait, have never seen her personally since she died several decades before. Therefore, they could have confused her with a close relative that could resemble her face.
Second, the text explains that the face in the portrait is very similar to the one in Casandra’s sketch, the only accepted image of Austen. Nevertheless, the lecture refutes this point by saying that many close relatives could have a similar appearance as Austin’s. Consequently, they could have seen a picture of a distant niece, for example.
Finally, the reading contends that there is evidence that the portrait was painted when Austin was a teenager. The reason for this is that Ozias Humphrey, the painter, was active in that same period. However, the lecture claims that there is evidence that the portrait was actually painted later since the material used in the portrait was sold when Austin was older.
