The 'H. Tarr' studio was a prominent photographer for the Sephardic immigrant community in New York. The child's hairstyle, specifically the top roll, is a miniature version of the 'Victory Roll' styles popular during the WWII era. The smocking on the dress is a classic mid-century children's fashion element.
