The presence of the Italian embossed stamp 'PER L'ESTERO' (For Abroad) is a definitive marker of the Italian administration of Rhodes. Combined with the young woman's hairstyle and the patterned fabrics, the photo most likely dates to the late 1930s or the very early 1940s, just before the tragic events of 1944.
