Concerns
The first concern was Miss Deirdre Le Faye's 'Jane Campion' attribution.
The second concern was Jane Austen's dress with glossy spots and we detail how this concern arose.
The third concern was the incorrect Zoffany attribuition by the Rev. Dr. Thomas Harding Newman.
The fourth concern was the opinion of Mr Jacob Simon, curator of the National Portrait Gallery and the 'Wm Legg' canvas stamp on the reverse of the painting.
