AI Reasoning — AI Estimated

The clothing, particularly the long coats with wide lapels and the specific hat styles, strongly points to the late 1910s or very early 1920s. The studio setting is consistent with this era. Given Esther Burd's timeline, this could be around the time of her marriage in 1920 or shortly before.
