The subject's hairstyle and the studio portrait style are highly characteristic of the late 1930s to early 1940s. Historical records identify the subject as Lucia Capelluto (born 1924), and she appears to be in her late teens, suggesting a date shortly before the July 1944 deportation of the Rhodes Jewish community.
