There is a painting which is a portrait of a teenage girl owned by Jane Austen's family. While the author in the reading passage points out that Jane Austen is the subject of the painting and there are three supported reasons of the argument, the lecturer opposes that the reasons the author mentions are not convincing.
First, the lecturer rebuts the author's argument that since the Austen family have said Jane Austen is the girl in the portrait, it is clear that Jane is the subject of the portrait. The Austen family who claimed the portrait is about Jane Austen have not actually seen her. Thus, it is hard to believe the Austen family's opinion.
Second, the lecturer confutes the author's assertion that Jane Austen is the subject of the portrait because her face in the portrait is similar to Cassandra's sketch which is known as the image of Jane. There were a lot of female relatives at a relevant period and it is possible that at least one of her cousin could resemble Jane. Also, researches assert that the girl in the painting is Jane's distant niece.
Finally, the lecturer refutes the author's claim that the style of the portrait is similar to Ozias Humphrey who was a painter hired by the Ausen family and was active when Jane was a teenager. The stamp in the canvas can show Jane Austen is not the subject in the portrait. This is because the canvas was sold by a man who did not sell canvases in London when Jane was a teenager, but started to sell it when she was twenty seven years old. When the canvas was sold, Jane was much older than the girl in the painting.
