Both the passage and the lecture discuss whether a girl on a painting is Janes Austen or not. According to the author, the girl on the painting is Austen for some reasons. The lecturer, however, does not agree with the author`s point of view.
The first reason the author says that, Austen`s family let portrait to be used in an edition of her letters, which means that her family accept that the girl on the painting is Jane. Hovewer, the lecturer disputes this idea. She says that family members did not see the portrait with their own eyes.
According to the author, the girl on the portrait looks like Austen in the Austen`s sister, Cassandra`s drawing. The lecturer, on the other hand, says that the girl on the portrait can also be a relative of Austen. The speaker gives information about the experts that claim the girl on the portrait is actually a distant niece of Austen that resemles her.
The author says that, the style of the portait indicates that a professional society portait painter did the painting when Austen was a teenager. That painter was active when Austen was as old as the girl in the painting. The speaker, though, says that it could be becuase of the style but, a stamp beyond the portrait shows that it was done by another painter. Actually, Austen was older than the girl on the painting at the time of the portait being made.
