Flying with framed paintings as carry-on

As per the title Id like to carry a painting on board. I doubt it will fit thru the xray machine once enclosed in cardboard to protect it, maybe wont even w/o the cardboard. Is there any way to get it thru? w/o checking it as a checked bag.

1s time doing this yes its an expensive painting no not millions, yes could pay to unframe it and reframe it once at its destination, no dont want to go thru that expense

A domestic flight that will be on a widebody so will put it into a closet once its aboard

just dont want to get to TSA and be told sorry you cant take that thru with you and then miss the flight
