The subject's clothing (loose, dropped-waist two-piece with pleated skirt) and hairstyle (short, wavy bob) are classic markers of mid-to-late 1920s fashion. The Mary Jane shoes with cutouts also align perfectly with this era. Given Esther Burd's marriage in 1920 and the birth of her first child in 1921, she would be in her mid-to-late 20s here, which matches her appearance.
