The hairstyle is the primary dating marker. The bob with a forehead curl was at its peak in the mid-to-late 1920s. The long beaded necklace and the specific cut of the neckline further support a late 1920s date, allowing for a few years of cultural lag if taken in Rhodes.

Location Estimate — AI Estimated

Likely a professional studio in Rhodes or New York City.
