The Rice portrait : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Rice portrait The Rice portrait is believed by the owners to be of Jane Austen and painted by Ozias Humphry in 1788 when Austen was 13. Experts at the National Portrait Gallery (and elsewhere) have disputed this, suggesting that the painting dates to the early 19th century and thus cannot be of Austen, or painted by Humphry. ==History== The Rice portrait is believed by the family owning it to have been painted by Ozias Humphry in 1788 when Jane Austen was 13.〔(Evening Standard 2007 )〕 The owners believe it was commissioned by Austen's great uncle, Francis Austen during a visit.〔(The Jane Austen Centre )〕 It was originally attributed to Johann Zoffany. In 1884, it was used as an illustration in a collected edition of her letters. It was photographed by Emery Walker in about 1910. The National Portrait Gallery, London attempted to purchase the work in the 1930s. In 1948, the Austen scholar, R.W. Chapman, rejected the identity of the sitter based on costume evidence.〔(Art Daily News )〕 In 1994, the portrait was exhibited at Olympia. Henry Rice, the then owner, offered it to the (National Portrait Gallery ), but they were not willing to buy it.〔(Reuters )〕 The portrait was given an export licence in 2007 on the basis that it was not of Austen. It was put up for auction at Christie's in New York, in 2007 but failed to sell.〔(Jane Austen society of America )〕
