TPO-12 - Integrated Writing Task
Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most famous of all English novelists, and today her novels are more popular than ever, with several recently adapted as Hollywood movies. But we do not have many records of what she looked like. For a long time, the only accepted image of Austen was an amateur sketch of an adult Austen made by her sister Cassandra. However recently a professionally painted, full-length portrait of a teenage girl owned by a member of the Austen family has come up for sale. Although the professional painting is not titled Jane Austen, there are good reasons to believe she is the subject.
First, in 1882, several decades after Austen's death, Austen's family gave permission to use the portrait as an illustration in an edition of her letters. Austen's family clearly recognized it as a portrait of the author. So, for over a century now, the Austen family itself has endorsed the claim that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austen.
Second, the face in the portrait clearly resembles the one in Cassandra's sketch, which we know depicts Austen. Though somewhat amateurish, the sketch communicates definite details about Austen's face. Even though the Cassandra sketch is of an adult Jane Austen, the features are still similar to those of the teenage girl in the painting. The eyebrows, nose, mouth, and overall shape of the face are very much like those in the full-length portrait.
Third, although the painting is unsigned and undated, there is evidence that it was painted when Austen was a teenager. The style links it to Ozias Humphrey, a society portrait painter who was the kind of professional the wealthy Austen family would hire. Humphrey was active in the late 1780s and early 1790s, exactly the period when Jane Austen was the age of the girl in the painting.
The reading and lecture are both about a portrait that seems to belong to teenage Jane Austen. The article states that this portrait belong to young austen and provide thee reosons of support. however, the professor explains that the evidence not at all convincing that the portrait linking to her and refutes each of the author reasons.
The article mentions that Austen's family recognize the girl in portrait as teenage Jane Austen. The professor refutes this point. he states that the portrait was shown to the public 70 years after her death. So none of the relevant that recognizes that as Austen's portrait sow her by themselves.
The article claims that the portrait is like the only sketch of janes' face even in details like eyebrows, nose and etc. however, the lecture contends that at that time Jane Austen had a lot of cousin in that age and he believes the portrait belongs to one of her distant relatives.
Moreover, it is stated in the article that there is some evidence of the painter that was active in the period when she was a teenager. The lecture opposes this point. there is a stamp on the back of the convas that suggested that the portrait was painted 27 years after Jane Austen birth and it can't belong to teenage Austen.
