Both text and lecture are about the name of the portrait of Jane Austen painted by her sister: Cassandra. The author of the reading asserts the Jane Austen is a portrait of the painting. However, the tutor of the lecture opposes what the author wrote about by thinking on portrait of a painting as a different person.
To begin with, the passage considered the fact that Austen’s family gave permission to the painter by recognizing the portrait is Austen. But, the lecture casts doubt what the author says. The lecturer thinks that it is not a valid claim. Because, although the family recognized that, it was around 70 years later after Jane Austen died;therefore no one had seen Jane personally.
Secondly, the author thinks that the portrait looks similar with Austen in Cassandra's sketch even though it’s an adult portrait by having a resembled feature such as eyebrows, nose, mouth and overall shape. The lecturer believes that the painter Cassandra and Austen had large family, so the portrait can be one of the relatives of them.In fact this could be their their relative named May.
Finally, the passage suggests that Austen was teenager when the painting had drawn and the style of painting was active when she was in the same period. The speaker of the listening says that the stamp of the painting was printed when she was older than the picture so that the portrait cannot be her.
