Today, the 16th of December 2013, would be the 238th birthday of Jane Austen if authors lived for as long as their works do.
Perhaps in anticipation of this historic event, a watercolor portrait of Jane was recently sold at auction for $270,000. The portrait painted by James Andrews was commissioned in 1869 for Austen's nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh's biography of her life.
