The combination of the man's traditional cylindrical hat and long beard with the woman's specific Sephardic headgear (tokado) strongly points to the first two decades of the 20th century in Rhodes. The painted landscape backdrop was a staple of professional studios in the 1900-1920 era before more minimalist styles became popular.
