Hello, this is a 30"x36" print in a 43"x50" matted frame. The portrait was obtained without any background information in Northern Wisconsin, USA. The frame does not include glass. The frame's matting has a metallic ink surrounding the border's edges in gold, but the coloring has faded. A stamped pattern occurs throughout the matting in four colors. A red backing material (velvet?) is peering through in the top-left corner, and the frame itself is backed with a sheet of thin, naturally colored paper. A photo of the frame's rear was not attached to the report, but no damage has been observed. One 3/4" tear is present in the lower-left corner of the print, and minor scuff marks appear throughout. I have not been able to find another photograph of this size with this method of portraiture. I've had a difficult time determining the subject of the portrait, so any information you can add regarding the era and type of person/entity that would commission such a large portrait would aid my search greatly. Many thanks!

I purchased the piece from a private individual who found the portrait in a reclaimed storage unit. No history of the previous owner or origin location could be provided.
