TOEFL T P O 12 - Integrated Writing Task
In the passage it was argued about the authenticity of the potrait of Jane Austen which came up for sale by a Austen family member of. The professor in his lecture casted doubt on the reasoning given in the passage.
Firstly, the passage described that as the potrait was put forward by a Auten family member, so it was an authentic potrait of Jane Austen. But the professor reasoned that, as Jane Austen was Dead for almost 70 years by the time the potrait came into light, the family members who brought the potrait to public had not seen her for sure. Thus, the assertion by them that it is the potrait of Jane is doubtful according to the professor.
Secondly, the professor pointed out in his lecture that the Austen family was an extended family. So, it is possible to have a family member of the same age as her at the time of the painting. Thus the potrait could be of a family member rather than of Jane Austen's. This can account for the resemblances of the ameteur potrait by her sister Cassandra with the the formal potrait. This opposes the idea put forward by the passage. The professor further explained an opinion by experts that it is believed that the protrait is actually of a niece of the famous novelist who was of the same age as the novelist at the time of that the potrait done.
Finally, the professor explained the point that the attribution of the painting to the famous painter is based on the based only the style of the painter. But an evidence contradicts the claim which was a stamp on the back of the canvas. The canvas on which the potrait was done was not being sold until Jane Austen was 27 years old. Which in turn contradicts the claim of the passage of it being the potrait of a teenage Jane Austen. Because the timeline of the canvas and the teenage Jane Austen does not coincide.
