Jane Austen painting for sale

What is believed by some to be the only painting of author Jane Austen has gone on the auction block in an upcoming Old Master Paintings sale. It was painted by Ozias Humphry in 1788 or 1789. Christie's estimates the portrait will ultimately reach $400,000-$800,000. So, if you are curious as to what Austen looked like as a young girl, here is the link.
