The Rice Portrait of Jane Austen is a painting traditionally attributed to the English portrait artist Ozias Humphrey, depicting the renowned novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817). The portrait presents a full-length image of Austen, dressed in a white gown and holding a green parasol, set against a bucolic landscape. This painting has been a subject of considerable debate and intrigue among art historians and Austen scholars, primarily due to questions surrounding its authenticity and provenance.

The portrait is believed to have been commissioned by Jane Austen's great-uncle, Francis Austen, around 1788-1789, when Jane would have been approximately 13 or 14 years old. The painting remained in the Austen family for several generations before it was acquired by the Rice family, who are direct descendants of Jane Austen's brother, Edward Austen Knight. The Rice family has maintained that the portrait is an authentic depiction of the young Jane Austen, a claim that has been supported by some experts but contested by others.

The attribution to Ozias Humphrey, a prominent portrait artist of the Georgian era, adds another layer of complexity to the painting's history. Humphrey was known for his elegant and refined portraiture, often capturing the likenesses of notable figures of his time. However, the lack of definitive documentation linking Humphrey to the Rice Portrait has fueled ongoing debates about its origins.

Critics of the portrait's authenticity argue that the style and fashion depicted in the painting are inconsistent with the period when Jane Austen would have been a teenager. Additionally, some art historians have pointed out that the techniques used in the painting do not align with Humphrey's known body of work. Despite these controversies, the Rice Portrait remains a significant piece of Austen-related art, drawing interest from both the literary and art communities.

The painting has been exhibited in various galleries and has been the subject of numerous studies and publications. Its enigmatic history continues to captivate audiences, making it a fascinating artifact in the broader context of Jane Austen's life and legacy.
