The fashion cues, particularly the bathing suit styles, headscarf, and round sunglasses, strongly point to the late 1940s or early 1950s. The casual snapshot format and beach setting are consistent with post-WWII leisure activities. Esther Burd (born ~1900) would be in her late 40s or early 50s during this period, which aligns with the apparent age of the woman on the left.

A black and white candid snapshot taken at a beach. Two women are seated in wooden folding chairs in the foreground. The woman on the left wears a headscarf and patterned swimsuit, smiling towards the other woman. The woman on the right wears sunglasses and is looking down at a paper cup she holds. In the background, a man is sitting on the sand, facing the camera. A pair of dark shoes rests on the sand in the bottom left corner.
