Both the reading and the lecture talk about the validity of a well-depicted full-sized portrait of Jane Austen, an English great novelist. Although the reading states some reasons that the subject of the picture is Jane Austen, the lecturer finds them unconvincing and provides three counter reasons to refute them all.
First, the author claims that Austen's family have asserted that the teenage girl is Jane after authorized publication of her letters. On the other hand, the lecturer opposes this notion by stating that Jane Austen had been dead for more than 70 years when they made this claim about the portrait. Thus, it is impossible that her family could have visited Austen.
Second, the reading explains that this portrait resembles to the picture of a teenage girl sketched by Jane's sister, Cassandra, when she was a teenager. However, according to the lecture, Austen had an extended family and relatives who could have been the subject of this portrait. The girl could have been either one of her relatives or children who looked like her the most or one of her relatives called Merry who were with her everywhere.
Third, the reading argues that the style of the picture belongs to an artist named Ozias Humphery who was hired by Austen's family when she was a teenager. In contrast, the lecturer denies this fact by citing that the style date later since the evidence of a stamp found in the back of the canvass cleared more facts. These canvass were only sold by a man named William Leg. After much investigations, it turned out that he didn't sell canvass at the time Austen was a teenager in London. He started selling his product when Austen was 27 years old. Thus, this picture could not have been Austen's face.
