[Ohiodig] digitization recommendations

>From our photographic documentation technician, Jessica Ebert:

This is what I would recommend for photographing glass objects:

A piece of black foam core with a circle cut to the diameter of your camera lens.  It should be just snug enough to fit onto the lens without falling off.

Anyone have recommendations for the below situation?

Portrait photograph in a frame behind glass and the consensus is that it will be destroyed if it is removed. The frame measures 23" x 26". So far we have been unable to figure out how to digitize this portrait, due to the size and the glare from the glass. Are you aware of any way to successfully digitize an image of this size in a situation like this?

Thanks!
Marsha
