The hairstyle and formal attire are highly characteristic of the mid-1940s to early 1950s. The presence of a signature and the head-and-shoulders framing strongly suggest this was an identification photo for a passport or naturalization certificate. The surname 'Notrica' is a prominent Sephardic name from the island of Rhodes.

weak (1930-1960)Cultural context: The subject is likely a member of the Rhodesli diaspora in the United States; the grooming and attire reflect standard mid-century American professional standards rather than 'old world' Rhodes styles, suggesting rapid assimilation or US birth.
