Penned at the bottom, in an unknown hand is "from the portrait by Prince Pierre Troubetzkoy." The original portrait was painted in 1927 by Prince Pierre Troubetzkoy, son of a Russian diplomat and husband of American author Amélie Rives. He also painted a portrait of FDR's mother. His brother, sculptor Prince Paul Troubetzkoy, had created a life-size statue of a half-seated FDR in 1911. In very good to fine condition, with trimmed edges, a small stain to the upper left corner, and creasing and a short tear to the lower left corner.
