Total dimensions with the frame are approx. 33" x 26", image size 29 ½" x 21 ¾". This is most likely a licensed reproduction of one of the most widely known portraits of Lenin reproduced from the original b/w photo. This is definitely not a cheap Chinese airbrush job which flood today's market. It becomes clear from the quality and professionalism of the artwork, from the precision of the brush strokes, that this portrait was done by a professional artist who had official permission to paint Lenin. Not too many Soviet artists had this permission. Lenin's portraits of this size and level of quality usually graced the wall behind the desk of a high-level Party bureaucrat.

In excellent condition. The image is pristine. The ornamentation on the original period frame is typical gypsum cast. It shows 4 small chips, and a couple even smaller ones at the very edge. None of this wear affects the image and, frankly, just adds character and an aura of authenticity and age.
