NOLA discusses having a wide vocabulary and reading:
I read “Jane Eyre” and “Pride and Prejudice” when I was 13, and now I notice they’re suggested for 18-year-olds. I wasn’t any smarter at 13 than kids are today; certainly not when they can navigate complicated tech gadgets that I wouldn’t dream of putting my aged fingers on. (Bettye Anding)

I am somewhat surprised you are so ready to dismiss this prospective Emily Bronte portrait without actually either having seen it or the extensive provenance connected with it? It seems strange you are so dismissive yet you are, in truth, unaquainted with the facts that lead to the attribution. Rather than pontificating- I invite you to come and see the painting (Towcester, Northants) or at least make yourself aware of the full press release before making further judgements. We have done extensive work in bringing this picture to market based on much factual and historical research- it is worthy of more than just being dismissed out of hand.
