The subject's dress, featuring padded shoulders, a collared neckline, and a pleated mid-calf skirt, strongly points to the late 1940s or early 1950s. Her hairstyle and shoes also align with this period. The amateur snapshot quality with a light leak is consistent with mid-century roll film photography. Given Esther Burd's birth year of ~1900, she appears to be in her late 40s or early 50s here, supporting a date around 1950.
