This painting is absolutely beautiful and the actual painting without the frame measures 21 x 24 by 30 1/2. The frame is in terrible condition and I would recommend it be reframed. I tried to show you some of the defects on the frame. There is also one slight Burr on the painting, but besides that it?s in beautiful condition. If you do not want the frame included, we can disassemble it for you to hopefully save you some money on shipping. Otherwise a $60 fee will be added for professional packing to protect the painting. 48X46X39 Is the calculated shipping that I am going off of based on the Home Depot box that is this size and big enough for us to ship it in. However we could also take it to a shipping agency and have them build a custom box that would be much smaller for around $60 and I would reimburse you the extra shipping If you want me to ship this I could do it.
